Clarely can remind clients about an unpaid invoice automatically, so a bill doesn’t just sit there waiting on you to notice it’s overdue.

Turning it on

Go to Settings → Workflow, under “After the job,” and turn on Automatic invoice reminders. Reminders only go out on invoices that are still Sent — once an invoice is paid or voided, reminders stop.
Invoice reminders are available on Professional plan and above.

Choosing when reminders go out

Pick any combination of three timing options:
  • On the due date
  • 3 days after the due date (the default)
  • 7 days after the due date
If you turn reminders on without changing anything, only the 3-day reminder is active. Add or remove the others to match how you want to follow up. Each invoice gets at most one reminder per day, and Clarely sends whichever reminder is next due — if an invoice somehow misses its “on the due date” window, it doesn’t get skipped entirely; the next applicable reminder (3 days, then 7 days) still goes out.

When reminders stop

Reminders stop automatically the moment an invoice is paid. If you void an invoice, reminders stop too — there’s nothing to remind a client about on an invoice that no longer counts against your balance.

How this relates to late fees

Invoice reminders and late payment fees are completely independent. Reminder emails never mention a late fee, even if you have one configured — the fee only ever shows as the disclosure on the invoice itself. Turning one setting on has no effect on the other.

What to do next

Turn on Automatic invoice reminders in Settings → Workflow, and pick the timing that matches how you’d nudge a client yourself.
