About the Invoice Follow-Up Email Generator

There is a specific moment, somewhere between a few days and two weeks after the due date, when an invoice has gone quiet but is not yet a problem. What you send then decides whether it becomes one.

The right message assumes an oversight, because it almost always is one. It asks a question — where has it got to, who handles payments — rather than making a demand, because a question is easier to answer than a demand is to comply with. It makes paying trivially easy, with the amount, the reference and a link right there in the body. And it does not apologise for asking.

This writes that message in several variants: to your usual contact, to an accounts payable address, to somebody who has gone quiet entirely, and as a short second follow-up when the first was not answered. Every version stays on the right side of the line between professional and apologetic, which is the hardest part to get right by yourself at nine at night.

Frequently asked questions

Three to seven days after the due date for a first follow-up. Sooner reads as impatient; much later lets the invoice slip into the next payment run and adds a month.
