Set reminder defaults and safety rails

Reminder defaults control how every new overdue invoice behaves unless a debtor or sequence overrides them. Safety rails stay on regardless of plan upsells.

Open Settings → Reminder Defaults. These apply to every invoice unless something more specific overrides them.

Chasing mode

  • Automatic — overdue invoices start chasing on their own using your timing. Keeps working when nobody is logged in.
  • Manual approval — new overdue invoices wait until you press Start chasing on each one.

A mode change takes effect when you save. The product warns you what will happen next.

Timing

  1. Start chasing — days after the due date before the first reminder.
  2. Preferred daily run time — the predictable daily window.
  3. Quiet hours — nothing sends between these times (business timezone).
  4. Contactable days — Mon–Sun pills; due work on an off day waits for the next on day.

Approvals and tone

  • Approve firm & final reminders before sending — holds those rungs for a human press. Included on every plan; on by default; optional.
  • Default tone — used when a sequence step does not name one. Friendly / Standard / Firm / Final.

Safety rails

  • Minimum chase amount — skip tiny balances.
  • Review the first run — always on for new accounts; nothing sends until you have seen the list once.
  • Messages per debtor per day and messages per hour (whole account) — over-limit messages are held with a reason in Activity, never silently dropped. Zero turns a limit off.
  • Stop all automated sending — the kill switch (see its own guide).

What still always applies

Never-chase debtors, payment/reply/dispute/promise pauses, and human hold on Firm/Final threat wording still apply no matter which mode you pick.
