Invoice Reminder Behavior & Manual Reminder Handling

1. Invoice Reminder Template Behavior

  • The previewed reminder template shown in the Invoice Settings is the correct template used for automated reminders.

  • Multiple reminders can be configured (e.g., Reminder 1, Reminder 2), each with its own timing.

  • Reminder automations only trigger after they have been enabled.


2. Behavior for Existing Overdue Invoices

  • Automated reminders do not apply to invoices that were already overdue before the reminder feature was enabled.

  • The system only sends reminders for invoices created after enabling the configuration.

  • Previously overdue invoices must be handled manually.


3. Manual Reminder Sending

  • Users may manually send a reminder to customers with overdue invoices.

  • When sending manually:

    • Selecting the contact will populate only the contact information.

    • Dynamic invoice fields (invoice amount, due date, invoice number) do not auto-populate when sending via manual message composer.

  • Manual reminder messaging is recommended only when necessary to avoid template mismatch concerns.


4. Invoice Due Date Configuration

  • Updating Invoice Due After (days) in Payment Settings impacts future invoices only.

  • Existing invoices—including recurring invoices already generated—are not updated retroactively.

  • Any changes apply solely to invoices generated after the update.


5. Key Operational Notes

  • Manual action is required for any invoice reminders related to invoices created prior to enabling reminder automation.

  • Staff should clarify expectations with users about dynamic field behavior in manual reminder emails.

  • Changing due-date settings is not retroactive and should be communicated clearly to users setting up recurring billing.
