Invoices App Auto-Reminders & Message Templates and Activities Enhancements

For this week we focused on improving all aspects of our Invoices App. Specifically, we’ve launched a new feature which allows you to automatically remind your customers about unpaid invoices.Introducing the new “Message Templates” & “Auto Reminders” features. By going to the configuration area of your Invoices App, you can now set up new message templates, which are pre-configured email messages that can be sent to customers.

Once you have created a custom message template, you can set up an automatic, or manual follow-up to be sent to all customers of unpaid invoices. You are able to set up an unlimited number of reminders, such as “5 days after invoice is sent”.

Each reminder can have it’s own message template, so you can send a different email message to the customer, depending on how overdue their invoice is.

Once you have configured your message templates and auto-reminders in the configuration screen, you can start using the “Reminders” button present on the Invoices Dashboard page. This window will provide a list of all upcoming reminders, and allows you to send, postpone, or delete the reminder from this queue.

Beyond our new Invoices features, you’ll notice several performance improvements across the site, some general interface enhancements to standardize the look across apps, and you’ll see some enhancements to the activities throughout all apps.
