Set Up Automated Invoice Payment Reminders
Stop chasing overdue invoices manually — configure automatic reminders that go out by email or SMS on a schedule you define.
Set up a reminder
- Go to your invoice settings and open Reminder Settings.
- Create a new reminder and give it a descriptive name.
- Choose or build the email/SMS template it should use.
- Set the timing — for example, "3 days before the due date," or a set number of days after it becomes overdue.
- Set a maximum number of times this reminder should send.
- Save.
You can create multiple reminders with different timing and messaging — for example, a friendly nudge a few days before the due date, and a firmer follow-up once an invoice is overdue.
Managing reminders
Toggle any reminder on or off, or delete it entirely, from the same Reminder Settings screen.
What to know before relying on this
- Reminders only apply to invoices created after you turn the feature on — invoices that were already overdue before setup need to be followed up on manually.
- Dynamic fields (like the customer's name or amount due) don't auto-populate if you send a reminder manually rather than letting the automation handle it.
- Changing your reminder settings doesn't retroactively affect invoices that already exist — new settings apply going forward only.
