"Email Domain Authentication"

  • You'll need this following text if you wish to show the sending domain as yours and not InvoiceSherpa. Note: Contact your provider for specific setup-related questions.

Combine Reminder Limit: This rule combines several reminders into one statement. Once the total amount of reminders reaches limit “x” a combined statement will be sent

combine limit


For example: if the limit is set at 4 and one of your customers has 4 or more reminders scheduled, they will receive a statement instead of 4 individual reminders.

This is an example of the Statement that will be sent to your customers:


Invoice Reminders 4

Hold All Actions on Weekends: This feature will hold ALL actions over the weekend.


Invoice Reminders 5

For Example: If your customer has a Reminder scheduled for March 23rd, but the 23rd falls on a Saturday, the customer will not be charged until the following Monday.

Send Reminders to All Emails: This feature will send reminders to all email addresses on file for your customers.


Invoice Reminders 6

Reminder Timings: This setting allows you to control the day(s) and time(s) reminders are sent. If you use this setting reminders will only go out on the selected days.

For Example: If you choose to only send reminders on Mondays at 9:00, your reminders will all hold until that day to be sent – regardless of the invoice creation date/due date.
