Set up automatic reminders

Turn on overdue payment reminders so clients get a polite email on the due date, after 3 days, and after 7 days — without you chasing each invoice by hand.

Overdue Reminder row showing Due date, +3 days, and +7 days

Automatic reminders email your client when an unpaid invoice is due or overdue. You set the schedule once; Trueinvoice sends the follow-ups. On due date is on by default for new accounts.

1. Choose when to remind

Overdue Reminder with On due date, After 3 days, and After 7 days

  1. Open Settings → Invoice Configuration → Overdue Reminder.
  2. Turn on any combination of On due date, After 3 days, and After 7 days.
  3. Tap Save.

2. When reminders actually send

Reminders only go out when all of these are true:

  1. The invoice is Sent or Partially Paid (Draft and Paid are skipped).
  2. The contact has a valid email.
  3. The invoice still has a balance due.

Each enabled schedule sends at most once per invoice. Record a payment (or a Stripe payment) to Paid and later reminders stop. Set default due days so new invoices get a consistent due date.
