Enable the “Enable the following balance statement email schedule for unpaid, past due invoices” toggle
Enter a date for “What is the earliest invoice date you want to attempt to collect debt on?”
(This date can be used to tell the system not to pursue past due payments before a certain date, for example if the company can no longer pursue such debts because they’ve been sold to a collections agency.)
Fill out the form indicating how often to send emails and how many emails to send
Save
This will automatically email balance statements to people with past due balances until the maximum number of emails has been reached or until the person pays their outstanding bill.
