How To Send A Payment Reminder

Send payment reminders to customers with just a few clicks inside QuoteIQ.

Updated over a week ago

If a customer has an unpaid invoice, you can send them a payment reminder directly from the Invoices tab in QuoteIQ. This ensures your clients are gently nudged to pay, while maintaining a professional tone and record of communication.


Step 1: Go to the “Invoices” Tab

On the left-hand sidebar, click Invoices. You’ll see all invoices categorized by status: Pending, Paid, and Recurring. Locate the invoice that’s overdue or still pending.


Step 2: Locate the Customer’s Invoice

In the Pending section, find the specific invoice for the customer you want to remind. You can use the search bar or scroll through the list. Overdue invoices are marked in red (e.g. “4 Days Past Due”).


Step 3: Click “Send Reminder”

Within the invoice card, click the Send Reminder button. This opens the email form with the recipient’s contact info, email subject, and email body auto-filled based on your set template.


Step 4: Review and Send the Email

The email will be pre-filled with the customer’s name, a message about the outstanding invoice, and a link to view and pay it. You can:

  • Edit the subject line and body if needed

  • Add a BCC or CC email

  • Toggle fields as necessary

  • Click Send Email when you’re ready


Step 5: Customize the Reminder Template (Optional)

To edit the default reminder message permanently, you have 2 options:

Option 1: From the Send Reminder screen

  1. Click the Edit Template button

  2. Update the subject and message

Option 2: From the Settings tab

  1. Go to Settings

  2. Scroll to Templates & Customization

  3. Select Invoice Reminder Email Template

  4. Update the subject and message

Click Save to finalize the new template.

FAQs

Will QuoteIQ automatically send reminders for me?

No. Currently, reminders must be sent manually through the “Send Reminder” button.

Can I edit the reminder email before sending?

Yes. You can change the subject and body text each time before clicking send.

Will the customer see my personal email?

Only if you add yourself in the CC or BCC fields. All invoice reminders are sent from no-reply@mail.myquoteiq.com, not your personal or SendGrid-connected email address. This ensures consistent delivery and a professional appearance to your customers.

Where does the invoice link take them?

It directs the customer to a public QuoteIQ-hosted page where they can view and pay the invoice securely.

Can I see if the customer viewed the invoice?

Yes. Each invoice card shows if and when the invoice was viewed.

What email address do payment reminders come from?

All invoice reminders are sent from no-reply@mail.myquoteiq.com, not your personal or SendGrid-connected email address. This ensures consistent delivery and a professional appearance to your customers.
