Follow-ups & Reminders

Two separate tools keep you on schedule: Follow-ups are your own commitments to a client (a call, a quote, a feedback request), and Payment Reminders are the emails that chase unpaid invoices.

Scheduling a Follow-up

A follow-up belongs to a client. Open the client and click Add Follow-up — in Quick Actions on the Overview tab, or on the Follow-ups tab. In Add Follow-up:

  1. Follow-up Type — Phone Call, Email, WhatsApp Message, Meeting, Send Quote, Booking Confirmation, Payment Reminder, Request Feedback, or Other. It becomes the follow-up's title, with the client's name.
  2. Due Date — a day, today or later
  3. Priority — Low, Medium or High
  4. Notes (Optional) — any details or context
  5. Click Schedule Follow-up

The client's Follow-ups tab lists all of them, done ones included. The pencil on a pending one opens Edit Follow-up (Update Follow-up, or Delete), and Mark Complete closes it. A client with overdue follow-ups shows a red alert at the top of the profile, and follow-ups appear in the client's timeline.

The Follow-up Dashboard

Follow-ups in the sidebar (Operate) opens the Follow-up Dashboard of everything still pending. It opens on today's:

  • Due Today, This Week (the next seven days), Overdue and All Pending — click one to show it
  • Filters by priority and by type (Phone Call, Email, WhatsApp, Meeting, Send Quote)
  • Each follow-up — the client (click to open), priority, type, due date (marked Today or Overdue), notes, and the client's phone and email to call or write
  • Complete, Snooze 1 day or Snooze 1 week (from today), and Delete

New follow-ups are made from the client, not here. A follow-up is overdue once its day has passed — there is no status to set. With nothing to show: “All Caught Up!”

Payment Reminders

Payment Reminders email clients about unpaid invoices. The page has no sidebar entry: open an invoice and click View All on its Reminder History card.

Which Invoices, and When

An invoice is reminded while it is Sent, Viewed, Partially Paid or Overdue, has a due date and a balance, and the client has an email. Once a day:

  • The first reminder goes 7 days before the due date — or straight away, for an invoice already closer to its due date or past it
  • Then one every 7 days until the invoice is paid, paused, or no longer awaiting payment. A reminder that fails to send is tried again the next day.
  • The email's wording follows where the invoice stands: upcoming, due, overdue, and — long overdue — urgent

Reminders are emails, sent from your company's address with replies going to your contact email. The days follow your company's time zone (Settings).

The Pending Tab

  • Pending, Overdue, Due Soon (within 7 days), Paused and Selected
  • Each invoice: client, balance, due date, the next reminder's type, how many have been sent, and Active or Paused
  • Send Reminder sends one now; the next automatic one is then a week later
  • Pause Reminders / Resume Reminders stops and restarts them for that invoice; a paused one is left out of bulk sends
  • Select All Active, then Send Selected — or Send All Active — and the result says how many were sent and how many failed

The History Tab

Every reminder sent or attempted: date and time, invoice, recipient, type, Sent or Failed (with the reason), and subject. Show All Reminders, Sent Only or Failed Only; Load More shows older ones. Each invoice's own reminders are also on its Reminder History card.

Send Reminder on Accounts Receivable opens an email draft in your own mail program; it is not sent or recorded by the app. Payment Reminders are for invoices only — for anything else, schedule a follow-up on the client.
