Email reminder sequences
Launch a timed reminder series through Gmail, Microsoft Outlook, SendGrid, or Mailgun based on invoice age. Collections keeps moving without one-off sends.
SMS payment nudges
Reach customers by text with Twilio when email reminders go unanswered, helping finance teams add urgency before balances age further.
Customer-specific reminder rules
Route reminder timing by customer segment, invoice size, or account owner so outreach fits the right payment risk profile.
