Automatic reminders - E-mail templates
This function is not directly related to the bookmark of Billing / Reminders, but performs the same function only with the difference that the reminders are generated automatically and are directly sent to the customers` e-mails. All options of thie overview are described during creating a template.
If you do not wish to include your VIP clients into the list of persons to be sent a reminder to, set for each of them the item of Not send reminders automatically in their client cards.
The definition of the reminder templates which you can later use for manual generating, or automatic generating for sending reminders to clients` e-mails after the invoices due date.
The automatically generated reminders are generated and sent every day at 7am. Only those reminders compliant with the rules stated in individual templates are generated. If you create a reminder template, it will apply only to those client invoices which exceed the due date only at the time of the its existance. For the invoices which due date exceeds the one that is set in the template, the reminders will not be automatically generated.
If you then create a reminder template for five days after the due date, every next day at 7am, all invoices with exceeded due date will be checked, and for those which will have the time after the due date just five days, the reminders will be generated. However, if any invoices have the due date exceeded for example for about ten days, the reminders will not be generated, because the template did not exist at the time when these invoices had been exceeded for just five days. You can, however, create another reminder template with the time after due date of fifteen days, which will process these invoices.
By using this button, you will define new templates for sending reminders, edits of templates are identical. The templates may be used as patterns for manual invoicing, or by checking off the cell of "Send automatically", you can set generating of the reminders entirely automatically by the system itself.
This screen is almost entirely identical with the manual generating of reminders, only with the difference that there are two new items for the settings "Send automatically" and "Send", which are described below.
