Week 3 of the 7-week live build. Still unpaid at day 14? A firmer second notice now goes out on its own, and the tracking sheet flips that row to Second Notice — import the 7-node template and you're fully up to date.
Week 3 adds the escalation on top of the Week 1 base and the Week 2 log. Day 7 is a polite nudge. If the invoice is still open on day 14, a firmer second notice goes out by itself and the tracking sheet flips that row to Second Notice. Import this and you have all three weeks in one workflow.
Connects to a Google Sheets row or your invoicing tool. The moment a new invoice appears, the workflow wakes up.
A Google Sheets node appends every invoice to a tracking tab before anything else happens — so nothing ever slips through unrecorded.
A Wait node holds the flow for exactly 7 days after the invoice date. No cron jobs, no external schedulers needed.
Sends a polite, professional payment reminder automatically. You never have to write or schedule the follow-up.
A second Wait node picks up where the first reminder left off. If nothing has been paid by day 14, the flow keeps going.
Same invoice, firmer wording. It names the due date, states the invoice is 14 days past due, and asks for a payment date — still professional, no chasing from you.
A Google Sheets update matches the row on Invoice Number and writes Second Notice to its Status column — so a glance at the tab tells you where every invoice stands.
No coding required. If you have an n8n account (self-hosted or cloud), you're ready to go.
