open/paid), Last reminder day. - Gmail.
- Optional Zapier Free/Pro for automation.
- Time: 45 minutes.
Step-by-step setup
Step 1. Keep Status updated (paid = paid) — from your accounting export or by hand.
Step 2. Manual: every Monday filter Status=open and due age ≥7/14/21; send the matching template.
Step 3. Zapier: Schedule weekly → Google Sheets Get many rows where Status=open → Paths/Filter by days overdue → Gmail Create Draft (or Send once trusted) with template → update Last reminder day.
Step 4. Cancel-on-pay: when Status becomes paid, Filters stop matching — no more reminders.
Step 5. Never threaten legal action in templates; escalate to a human call after day 21.
