How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Engagement marked completetrigger

The automation watches for a service delivery record marked as ready to invoice. It pulls the client, service, and rate data automatically.

2. Generate invoice

The automation creates a new invoice with client details, service line items, hours, rates, and tax codes pre-filled from the engagement record. No manual data entry.

3. Send invoice

The automation retrieves the invoice PDF and sends it to the client email address with a standard message. A copy is logged.

4. Log invoice sent

A notification is posted to the finance team channel confirming the invoice number, client, and amount sent.

5. Schedule payment check

The automation sets a reminder to check payment status 7 days after the due date and flags the invoice for follow-up if unpaid.

6. Send overdue reminder

If payment is not received by the due date, the automation sends a reminder email to the client and notifies the bookkeeper.
