How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Billing Cycle Date Reachedtrigger

The automation checks daily for customers whose billing cycle date has arrived. When a match is found, the process begins automatically.

2. Fetch Active Contracts

The automation queries the contract database and retrieves all active contracts due for billing on that date, including customer name, amount, and email address.

3. Create Invoice in QuickBooks

For each customer, the automation creates an invoice with the correct service description, amount, and billing date. The invoice is marked as sent.

4. Send Invoice via Email

The automation sends the invoice to the customer's email address, including a payment link and due date. A copy is logged for the business record.

5. Update Contract Status

The automation marks the contract as billed and records the invoice date and invoice number for future reference.

6. Log

A summary notification is sent to the finance team confirming how many invoices were created and sent that day.

7. Schedule Payment Reminder

The automation schedules a follow-up reminder email to be sent automatically 15 days after the invoice date if payment has not been received.
