About This Automation

Recurring billing for maintenance plans involves checking renewal lists, confirming plan changes, calculating prorated charges, and chasing failed payments across several systems. Doing this by hand invites pricing errors, delayed invoices, and missed follow-up on declined cards.

An automated version recalculates proration and discounts automatically, issues invoices as soon as plans are confirmed, and follows up on failed payments without manual chasing. The result is faster, more accurate billing with far less administrative effort.

Key features
Detects confirmed plan changes and recalculates proration automatically
Generates and issues invoices as soon as a renewal is confirmed
Monitors payment outcomes and flags failures immediately
Sends automatic reminders and retries for declined payments
Matches settled payments to invoices without manual review
Logs revenue recognition entries for each billing period

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Renewal Duetrigger

The flow starts automatically the moment a subscription reaches its renewal or billing date.

2. Billing Calculation Runs

The automation checks for any confirmed plan change and recalculates proration and discounts.

3. Update Subscription

The corrected plan, quantity and pricing are written back to the subscription record.

4. Generate Invoice

An invoice is created automatically with the correct prorated line items.

5. Send Invoice

When the invoice matches the expected amount, it is emailed to the customer immediately.

6. Billing Admin Reviews Invoice

If the amount falls outside expected thresholds, the admin reviews it before it goes out.

7. Payment Reconciliation Matches Payment

The automation matches the payment to the invoice and emails a reminder automatically if the charge fails.
