Managing Invoice Payment Reminder templates
Click on Edit template and add a new Invoice Payment Reminder:
For each reminder, you can set:
When the reminder will be sent:
x days before invoice's due date
x days after invoice's due date
The email from which the reminder will be sent

Email content
π‘ Use variables in your email body to include data automatically:
A template can have multiple reminders. For example, you can create a template with 3 reminders that will be sent:
7 days before the due date
0 days before the due date (effectively sent on the invoice's due date)
10 days after the due date
Adding Invoice Payment Reminders to Invoices

Invoice Payment Reminder Statuses
There are three statuses a payment reminder can have:
Scheduled - a payment reminder has a due date and has not yet been sent
Sent - a payment reminder has been sent to the client
Stopped - a payment reminder is stopped and will not be sent. Possible reasons for a payment reminder to have this status are:
it was added in the past
invoicing amount is 0
invoice has been marked as 'Unsent'
How Payments and Unsending an Invoice Affect Invoice Payment Reminders
When a payment in full is logged against an invoice, all reminders will be stopped on that invoice:
π‘ If a payment is deleted, reminders will remain Stopped
The same logic is applied if an invoice is marked as "Unsent" - all reminders are stopped.
