What Are Automatic Invoice Reminders?
Automatic invoice reminders are scheduled email or SMS notifications that remind clients about pending invoices before or after the due date.
Instead of manually checking who owes you money and writing follow-up messages, an invoicing tool like ProInvoice handles it for you.
You simply:
- Create and send an invoice.
- Set your reminder schedule (for example, 3 days before due date, or 7 days after).
- Sit back while ProInvoice automatically notifies clients with friendly reminders.
No more awkward phone calls or forgotten follow-ups — just smooth, consistent communication that helps you get paid faster.

Why Automatic Invoice Reminders Matter for Your Business
Late payments can cripple small businesses. A few unpaid invoices can disrupt your ability to pay suppliers, employees, or yourself.
Automatic reminders solve that problem by keeping your clients accountable without increasing your workload.
Here’s why they matter:
1. You Get Paid Faster
Clients sometimes forget. Automatic reminders ensure your invoice never slips through the cracks, helping you collect payments on time and maintain a healthy cash flow.
2. Saves You Time
Instead of manually following up on dozens of unpaid invoices, ProInvoice handles it for you — automatically and politely.
3. Reduces Stress
No more awkward “payment reminder” conversations. Automated reminders are professional, consistent, and emotion-free.
4. Strengthens Client Relationships
Timely reminders keep communication open and organized. They make clients appreciate your professionalism and transparency.
5. Improves Cash Flow Forecasting
With fewer overdue invoices, you can better predict incoming revenue and plan your business finances confidently.
How Automatic Invoice Reminders Work in ProInvoice
ProInvoice makes automatic reminders incredibly easy to set up — even if you’re new to invoicing software.
Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Create Your Account
Start by signing up free at the ProInvoice Sign-Up Page.
You’ll get instant access to your invoicing dashboard and all automation tools.
Step 2: Create and Send Your Invoice
Design a professional invoice using ProInvoice’s customizable templates. Add your logo, brand colors, and payment details. Then send the invoice directly to your client’s email.
Step 3: Set Up Automatic Reminders
In the settings, choose how often you want reminders to go out. For example:
- 3 days before due date (gentle reminder)
- On the due date (payment reminder)
- 7 days after due date (overdue notice)
ProInvoice will automatically send professional, friendly messages to your clients — no manual work needed.
Step 4: Track Payment Status
From your dashboard, you can see when a client opens the invoice, views the reminder, or makes a payment.
This transparency keeps you in control and helps you follow up confidently when necessary.
Step 5: Get Paid and Relax
Once payment is made, ProInvoice marks the invoice as paid and can even send a thank-you note automatically.
Automation helps you focus on your business — not on chasing payments.
