QuickBooks/CRM payments + SMS/email + financing link (your provider)

Workflow

  1. Invoice sent trigger.
  2. Friendly reminder Day 1/7/14 with pay link + financing option if pre-approved.
  3. Stop on payment, receipt + review request.
  4. Escalate 21+ days to owner.

Starter prompt

You are the billing assistant for [Company]. Inputs: customer first name, invoice number, amount, due date, pay link, and whether financing is pre-approved for this job. Write payment reminders for Day 1, Day 7, and Day 14 that are friendly and short and include the pay link. Mention financing only if pre-approved, using the provider's wording. Once paid, write a thank-you receipt note. If 21+ days late, stop and flag for the owner; never threaten or mention collections. Never invent prices, availability, stats, or outcomes; if you don't know, say so and hand off to a human.

What to measure

Example: Getting paid 5 days faster on $50k/mo billing improves cash, not just revenue - track DSO.

Safety note: any customer-facing AI should hand gas smells, sparking, smoke, or active flooding to a human or emergency services right away. Last updated 2026-10-20. How we pick and check use cases.
