What You Get

The exact system we run in our own business, packaged so you can import it and use it the same day.

  • ✓ Importable Make.com scenario — the invoice-followup-blueprint.json flow for reading your tracker, checking due dates, and sending reminders
  • ✓ Invoice tracker schema — the exact columns we use: Invoice ID, Client Email, Amount, Due Date, Status
  • ✓ Five-step escalation ladder — day 1 friendly reminder, day 7 second reminder, day 14 urgent note with late-fee mention, day 30 final notice, day 60 human handoff
  • ✓ Four email templates — plain-text reminders in escalating tones, ready to adapt to your brand and payment terms
  • ✓ Stop conditions — paid invoices are marked and removed immediately, each invoice gets a maximum of four emails, and the sequence hard-stops at 60 days
  • ✓ Setup and testing guide — how to import, connect your sheet, adjust thresholds, and run a test invoice through the ladder

Is This a Fit?

✓ Best for

  • ✓ Freelancers and small agencies who invoice clients directly
  • ✓ Businesses tracking receivables in a spreadsheet or simple accounting tool
  • ✓ Anyone who avoids chasing invoices because it feels awkward and wants a neutral, scheduled process
  • ✓ Teams that want a transparent ladder they can read and adjust — not a black-box collections service

✗ Not for

  • — Businesses needing multi-entity accounting, dunning integrations, or payment-plan negotiation logic
  • — Teams with high-volume AR who need a dedicated collections platform
  • — Anyone looking for legal or credit-recovery advice — this is an email scheduling template, not a collections agency

Straight talk: This is a template and escalation ladder, not a claim of client volume or recovery results. We are packaging a process, not reporting a track record of managing a large receivables portfolio. Your results depend on your client base, your payment terms, and how you handle the 60-day handoff.

From Purchase to Running in Under 30 Minutes

1

Import the scenario

Load the JSON into Make.com. The date check, router, and email modules are already connected.

2

Connect your invoice sheet

Point it at a Google Sheet with the included schema, or adapt the columns to your existing tracker.

3

Set thresholds and test

Confirm the day thresholds and email copy, then run one test invoice past due to verify each step fires once.

Common Questions

How many emails will a client receive?

At most four, at days 1, 7, 14, and 30 past due. At day 60 the automation stops and hands the invoice to you for a human decision.

What happens when an invoice is paid?

You mark the status in the sheet and the sequence stops immediately — no further reminders are sent.

Can I change the timing?

Yes. The day thresholds are plain filter conditions in the scenario; the setup guide shows exactly where to edit them.

Do I need accounting software?

No. A Google Sheet is enough. The schema is deliberately simple so it works alongside whatever you already use.
