Stop wasting hours chasing late payments—automate invoice reminders and boost your cash flow. Businesses using automated follow-ups collect payments up to 49% faster (QuickBooks, 2023).

By connecting Zapier and QuickBooks, you can trigger personalized invoice reminders as soon as payments are overdue. This simple workflow automation means fewer awkward calls, less admin, and more predictable revenue.

The Challenge

Late payments disrupt cash flow and force business owners to waste time on manual follow-ups. According to QuickBooks, 64% of small businesses regularly deal with overdue invoices, leading to stress and lost productivity. Manually tracking and reminding clients is tedious and error-prone.

The Solution

Flow Genius helps companies automate invoice reminders by integrating Zapier with QuickBooks. This workflow automation sends customized emails or messages to clients as soon as an invoice becomes overdue, ensuring consistent follow-up without manual effort.

Implementation Steps

1. Connect your QuickBooks account to Zapier. 2. Set up a Zap that triggers when an invoice remains unpaid past its due date in QuickBooks. 3. Configure the action to send a personalized email reminder to the client using Gmail, Outlook, or your preferred email service. 4. Customize the email template with invoice details, due date, and payment instructions. 5. Test the Zap to ensure reminders are sent automatically for overdue invoices. 6. Optionally, add a second step to notify your team in Slack or email for high-value overdue invoices.
