How to automate reminders, late fees and dunning

Configure the chasing once and stop writing those emails by hand. Reminders go out before the due date, dunning escalates after it.

1. Set your reminder schedule

   Reminders are the polite nudges before an invoice falls due. You choose how many days before the due date each one goes out.

   

2. Build the dunning ladder

   Dunning is the escalation for invoices that stay unpaid — a friendly reminder, then a firmer one, then a final notice, each at a set number of days past due.

   

3. Add late fees

   Late fees can be applied automatically once an invoice passes its due date, as a percentage or a flat amount.

   

4. Edit the email templates

   The wording your clients receive is editable, so reminders sound like your firm rather than like software.
