Most unpaid invoices aren't disputes. Nobody ever followed up. The build (n8n, ~10 min): → Invoice sent → one row in a Sheet: customer, amount, due date, status → Day 1 past due: one SMS, not an email. "Invoice #204 for the fence repair — link below." An email with a PDF attached gets buried. → Day 7: same message, payment link on its own line. Nothing else. → Day 14: the owner gets pinged to call. An automation should never be the thing asking twice for money. → Paid webhook from the invoicing tool → status flips, sequence stops instantly → Log days-to-payment per customer. That column tells the owner who to ask for a deposit next time. Stopping on the paid webhook is the whole build. One reminder sent after someone already paid undoes a year of goodwill. Same logic behind the 25 free automations + 30 prompts in the Classroom. How long does your client wait to get paid right now? 👇 Deploy, don't study.
