Open **New Invoice Added** and connect your Google account, then pick your invoice spreadsheet + sheet tab.\n2. Your sheet needs these columns (rename in the email node if yours differ): `Invoice Number`, `Client Name`, `Client Email`, `Amount`, `Due Date`.\n3. Open **Log the Invoice** and pick the spreadsheet + a tracking tab (e.g. `Invoice Log`). Auto-mapping copies the invoice columns across.\n4. Open **Send Payment Reminder** and connect your SMTP / email credential, and set the From address.\n5. Toggle the workflow **Active**.\n\nEach week of the series adds one node — follow along on LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook.",
