Step-by-step setup guide + copy-paste prompt
Recipe
- Schedule daily in n8n (e.g. 9am).
- Pull open invoices from Sheets / QuickBooks / Xero (status ≠ paid).
- Branch by age: 7 days → friendly email; 14 → firmer; 30 → SMS or owner task.
- On payment webhook (or status change) remove the invoice from the chase list immediately.
- Log every send; never CC the whole company on day-30 notes.
