Overdue Invoice Reminder Automation
Checks accounting software daily for invoices past their due date and sends a polite, staged reminder sequence by email, so collections don't depend on someone remembering to chase.
What this template does
Checks accounting software daily for invoices past their due date and sends a polite, staged reminder sequence by email, so collections don't depend on someone remembering to chase. It's categorized in our directory under Ops Automation — internal operations: invoicing, reporting, data sync, and the glue work that keeps a business running between tools that don't talk to each other natively.
Integrations
- QuickBooks
- Gmail
Setup steps
- 1Pull open invoices daily and filter for ones past due.
- 2Stage reminders (e.g. 3 days, 14 days, 30 days overdue) with escalating tone.
- 3Send from a real, monitored inbox — not a no-reply address — so replies get seen.
- 4Stop the sequence automatically once payment is recorded.
