Overdue Invoice Reminder Agent

Timely, correct reminders for every overdue invoice that is not in dispute

Overdue Invoice Reminder Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Collections teams send reminders to customers who already paid or are in a dispute, which annoys good customers and wastes time. Each morning this agent reviews invoices that are past due. It checks recent payments and remittances so it never reminds a customer who already paid. It removes invoices with open disputes, credit memos in progress or active payment plans. For the rest it picks the reminder stage by days overdue and the customer's history, finds the right billing contact, and drafts the message with the invoice copy attached. It then checks whether earlier reminders bounced or went unanswered and finds another contact if needed. The specialist approves the batch before anything is sent. Edge case: a customer paid the total of three invoices in one payment, so the agent matches it to all three before drafting.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

It sets the reminder stage by days overdue and skips any invoice with a dispute, a pending payment or a payment plan.

  • 1 to 15 days late: friendly reminder
  • 30 days or more: firm reminder and call task
  • Open dispute: no reminder until resolved

An example run

What happensOn Monday, 64 invoices were past due. The agent found 9 paid on Friday, including one payment covering three invoices, and 5 in dispute. It drafted 50 reminders. The bounce check showed 2 earlier reminders had bounced, so it found the accounts payable inbox on each customer's portal and switched contacts. The specialist approved the batch and added a call task for 6 accounts over 30 days.
