Invoice payment reminders

Automate invoice reminders without losing delivery visibility

Set a workspace reminder policy, preview when messages will be sent, and operate exceptions from one attention, scheduled, and history view.

Reminder policy

Schedule follow-up around the invoice due date

Create a default policy that new sent invoices can inherit. Each rule is measured in days before or after the due date, keeping the schedule connected to the invoice instead of a separate calendar.

  1. STEP 01

    Choose the message

    Use friendly, due-today, overdue, or final reminder templates.

  2. STEP 02

    Set days from due date

    Use negative days before the due date and positive days after it.

  3. STEP 03

    Preview the schedule

    Review concrete send dates before saving the policy.

Draft invoices do not send reminders. A policy must be enabled before invoices can inherit it.

02

Timing and language

Control when and how reminder messages are prepared

Set a local send time and timezone for the workspace. Use the customer's language when available or fall back to the workspace default, and maintain versioned templates for each language.

  • Workspace send time and timezone
  • Customer-language or default-language strategy
  • Editable subject and message templates
  • Immutable template versions after each save
03

Operations centre

Separate routine reminders from work that needs attention

The reminder centre summarizes items needing attention, scheduled messages, and sent messages. Search operations, see the invoice and client, review the outstanding balance, and open the delivery-attempt history.

  • Attention, Scheduled, and History views
  • Outstanding balance and scheduled time
  • Failure reason and attempt history
  • Retry and cancel actions for authorized roles
04

Delivery accountability

Keep retry decisions explicit

Reminder operations retain delivery attempts and failure context. Authorized users can retry an item that needs attention or cancel a pending reminder instead of treating every submission as an invisible success.

Reminder delivery still depends on a valid recipient, invoice context, enabled workspace feature, and the configured email service.

Practical answers

Payment reminders questions

Clear answers about how this workflow behaves in InvoiceHub today.

Can reminders be sent before and after an invoice due date?

Yes. Reminder rules use days relative to the due date. Negative values schedule a message before the due date and positive values schedule it after.

Can each reminder use a different message?

Yes. A policy can select different message templates for friendly, due-today, overdue, and final reminder stages. Templates can also be maintained by language.

Can my team see failed reminder deliveries?

Yes. The reminder operations centre includes items needing attention, failure context, and delivery-attempt history. Authorized users can retry or cancel operations.

Do draft invoices send automatic reminders?

No. Draft invoices do not send reminders. Reminder schedules belong to the sent-invoice collection workflow.
