Set the workflow up once, in the AI agent you already use
You: When an invoice becomes overdue in Stripe, chase the business by email until it is paid. Send up to five reminders in the business tone you already know, and escalate to the account owner if it is still unpaid.
Claude: Here it is. It starts on the Stripe event and stops as soon as the invoice is paid. Have a look, and approve it if it reads right.
Invoice chasing, PROCESS.md. Trigger: Invoice becomes overdue in Stripe. Todos: Check the invoice and what was already sent. Send the first reminder with a payment link. Follow up until it is paid. Hand it to the account owner. Sources: Stripe, Outlook. Rules. Stop: the invoice is paid in Stripe. Escalate: after five reminders, to the account owner.
Claude: Askpilot is watching Stripe for unpaid invoices. Every time one goes overdue, it runs the Invoice chasing workflow.
The event arrives from the tool where the work happens
Stripe, invoice INV-4021, Northgate Property Ltd, £2,480.00 past due, 17 days overdue, last attempt card declined. Stripe sends invoice.payment_failed to Askpilot.
Askpilot runs the workflow end to end
Session: Northgate Ltd · INV-4021. Invoice past due, so Askpilot started Invoice chasing. Process: Check the invoice and what was already sent. Send the first reminder with a payment link. Follow up until it is paid. Hand it to the account owner.
Checking the invoice in Stripe and what we have already sent them. £2,480.00, 17 days overdue. Their card was declined on the last attempt and no reminder has gone out yet, so I am starting from the first step.
Sending the first reminder, using the approved template. Reminder sent: emailed accounts@northgate.co.uk with the invoice attached and a payment link, and asked for a date if they cannot settle this week.
Setting up the follow-ups, so nothing slips if they do not reply. Follow-ups scheduled: I am watching the billing inbox and Stripe for a reply or a payment. If nothing arrives, the next reminder goes out in three working days, up to five in total.
Making sure someone picks this up if the reminders do not work. Handover set: if all five reminders go unanswered, this goes to the account owner with everything that has been sent.
