To ensure that you get paid on time, you can use the mobile app to send your clients quick reminder emails about their payments. You can manually send reminders from your iOS or Android app if you prefer to control who receives reminders and when (payment reminders can also be handled automatically).
By default, automated payment reminders are turned on and will contain pre-written email language. The content of the email will depend on when you send the reminder. For example, if the payment's due date has not yet passed, HoneyBook will send a reminder that the payment is upcoming. You can change the message or turn off the reminders when working on your computer.
📣 Note
If your invoice and contract are in the same smart file, you can only send manual payment reminders if the invoice comes before the contract. If the invoice comes after the contract, you cannot send manual or automatic payment reminders.
Manually send a payment reminder
Only one payment reminder can be sent per day. For example, if you manually send a payment reminder, but an automatic payment reminder would've been sent later that day, the automatic payment reminder won't get sent.
Locate and open the project in which the payment was made. You can:
Search via the search icon at the top of your app's home screen
Locate the project from the Projects tab
Go to the Files tab
Open the smart file that contains the payment
If the file has not been "booked" (no payments have been made or the contract has not been signed), you cannot send a payment reminder
In this case, you can reshare the file with your client
Under Action Summary, tap the triple-dot icon > tap Send payment reminder
An email will be sent immediately to all participants involved in the project
