Auto Invoice Use Case

Still Chasing Clients for Invoices Manually?

If you’re still generating invoices by hand, sending follow-up emails manually, and tracking payments in a spreadsheet, it’s not just costing you time. It’s hitting your cash flow hard.

💥 60% of late payments are caused by human error or forgetfulness.
That’s time-sensitive money stuck in limbo… because someone forgot to follow up.

⚙️ Here’s the Automation We Built to Fix That

We implemented a fully automated invoicing and follow-up flow for a client who was spending 15–20 minutes per invoice doing things manually. They now complete the same task in 30 seconds.

Step 1: Invoice Creation & Delivery

The user inputs a few key details into a Google Sheet: client name, service, amount. From there:

• A polished PDF invoice is automatically generated using a dynamic template

• It's saved to a central folder (Google Drive, Notion, Dropbox - whatever works)

• An email is automatically sent to the client with the invoice attached

That’s 90–95% of the admin gone.
Manual time saved: ~20 minutes per invoice.
Energy saved: Immeasurable.

Step 2: Smart Follow-Up System

Here’s where it gets really good:

Every day, the system checks for unpaid invoices and triggers reminders based on overdue status.

• If it hasn’t been followed up yet → sends a polite reminder

• If it's 7 days overdue → sends a firmer chaser

• If it's 14 days overdue → sends a final notice + books a calendar event for manual follow-up

🟢 Telegram alerts keep the user in the loop at every stage without lifting a finger.

And here's the kicker:

📈 Automated follow-ups reduce overdue payments by up to 50%
- meaning faster cash, fewer awkward emails, and no revenue slipping through the cracks.

📊 Why This Works

Still need convincing?

• Businesses using automated invoicing get paid 3x faster on average

• 60% of late payments are due to missed follow-ups

• And automation cuts those follow-ups without you ever lifting a finger

If you’re sending more than 10 invoices a month, the ROI is a no-brainer.
And if you’re scaling? It’s non-negotiable.

🔧 Tailored to You

This system can be adapted to:

• Stripe, Xero, or manual payment tracking

• Slack, Notion, or other tools beyond Google Sheets

• Custom thresholds and even AI-generated email content for bespoke client messaging
