About This Automation

Invoicing and receivables management involves creating invoices from orders, sending them to customers, tracking payments, and following up on overdue amounts. Manual processes create data entry errors, slow cash collection, and consume significant staff time each month.

Automation reads confirmed orders, generates accurate invoices instantly, matches incoming payments automatically, and sends overdue reminders without manual intervention. The result is faster cash flow, fewer errors, and staff freed to focus on customer relationships and exceptions.

Key features
Extract order data automatically and create invoices without manual data entry
Match incoming payments to invoices and record them in accounting software instantly
Identify overdue invoices and send reminder emails on a schedule
Flag discrepancies, partial payments, and exceptions for human review
Generate aging reports and cash flow visibility on demand

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Order Confirmedtrigger

Automation detects when an order status changes to confirmed or the order system.

2. Extract Order Data

The automation platform retrieves customer, order, and line item data directly using its API, eliminating manual copy-paste.

3. Create Invoice in QuickBooks

The automation creates a formal invoice with the extracted data, applying correct tax rates and payment terms automatically.

4. Send Invoice via Email

The automation sends the invoice to the customer email address, with a templated message and PDF attachment.

5. Monitor Payment

The automation checks and bank feeds daily for incoming payments, matching them to outstanding invoices by amount and customer.

6. Reconcile Payment

When a payment is detected, the automation marks the corresponding invoice as paid and updates the bank account.

7. Send Overdue Alert

The automation identifies invoices past their due date and sends a reminder email to the customer, with an escalation to the finance team.

8. Update Aging Report

The automation generates and posts an updated accounts receivable aging report, giving the finance team real-time visibility into outstanding invoices.
