About This Automation

Patient payment collection at physiotherapy clinics involves manually tracking overdue invoices, composing reminder emails, and reconciling bank deposits against patient records. This manual process is time-consuming, error-prone, and delays cash flow.

Automation monitors overdue invoices, sends personalized payment reminders automatically, and matches incoming payments to invoices without manual intervention. The result is faster payment collection and accurate financial records.

Generate personalized payment reminder emails using patient details from your invoicing system
Match incoming bank deposits to patient invoices by amount and date
Record payments automatically and mark invoices as paid in your accounting system
Log all payment outreach to prevent duplicate reminders and track collection efforts

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Invoice Due Date Passestrigger

The automation checks daily for invoices that have reached their due date without payment. It pulls the patient name, email, invoice amount, and due date.

2. Fetch Patient Details

The automation retrieves the full patient contact record and invoice history to ensure the reminder is accurate and personalized.

3. Generate Reminder Email

The automation composes a professional payment reminder email using a template, inserting the patient name, invoice amount, due date, and payment instructions.

4. Send Email

The reminder email is sent automatically to the patient's registered email address. A log entry is created to record the outreach.

5. Monitor for Payment

The automation monitors the clinic's account for incoming payments. When a payment is received, it captures the amount, date, and payment method.

6. Match Payment to Invoice

The automation matches the payment amount and date against open invoices, identifying the correct patient and invoice with high confidence.

7. Record Payment

The automation creates a payment record, links it to the matched invoice, and marks the invoice as paid.

8. Notify Bookkeeper

A summary notification is sent to the clinic's channel confirming the payment has been recorded and reconciled, with any exceptions flagged for manual review.
