Quick answer

Automate collection reminder: Schedule collection reminders with rules, channels, and exceptions to reduce manual follow-up.

Before you start

  • Have invoices, leases, or balances with due dates.
  • Define allowed channels: portal, email, WhatsApp, or internal task.
  • Review tone, language, and customer exceptions.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Choose trigger

    Define whether the notice goes out before due date, on due date, or after overdue status.

  2. 2

    Select audience

    Apply the reminder to leases, invoices, or specific segments and exclude sensitive cases.

  3. 3

    Configure channel and template

    Choose channel, language, balance variables, and payment link so the message is actionable.

  4. 4

    Define payment stop rule

    Make sure approved payments, reconciled deposits, or accepted proofs stop future notices.

  5. 5

    Test and activate

    Send a test, review content, and activate the rule with delivery monitoring.

Common errors

Reminders are sent for paid invoices

The rule does not stop when payment is recorded or reconciled.

Add an outstanding-balance condition and test with a paid invoice.

The message has no payment link

The template lacks a link variable or the collection channel is incomplete.

Update template and channel before reactivating the reminder.

FAQ

Can I use different tones by segment?

Yes. Create separate rules or templates for preventive, due, and advanced overdue notices.

How do I avoid duplicate messages?

Use one rule per milestone and review that automations do not overlap.

Can I pause reminders for one tenant?

Yes. Add a temporary exception or pause the lease rule while the case is resolved.
