# Invoice reminders

> Let Harness chase unpaid invoices so you don't have to.

Chasing money is the worst part of teaching. Harness does it for you: on the Professional plan, unpaid invoices get a polite email nudge around their due date, automatically, until they're paid.

## Turn automatic reminders on

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open your invoicing settings">
    Go to **Settings → Invoicing** and find **Automatic reminders**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick the moments">
    Switch on **Send automatic reminders**, then choose any of the three, each its own toggle:

    * **3 days before due date**
    * **On due date**
    * **3 days after due date**
  </Step>
</Steps>

These are your studio defaults: every new invoice starts with them, and you can override the three toggles per invoice in the invoice builder before you send.

## How they behave

* Reminders go to the invoice's recipients, the same people who received the invoice, with your reply address on it.
* Only **sent** invoices with a balance due are reminded. Once the balance hits zero, reminders stop; a partially paid invoice still gets them.
* Each of the three moments fires **at most once per invoice**, so nobody gets spammed. The days are counted in your studio timezone.
* Voided invoices are never reminded.

## Send one by hand

Any time a sent invoice has a balance due, open its actions menu (**⋯**) in **Finances → Invoices** and choose **Send Reminder**. There's a short cooldown between manual reminders so two can't go out back to back. Reminders, manual and automatic, are on the Professional plan; see [Plans and limits](/settings/plans-and-limits).

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I stop reminders for one invoice without turning them off for everyone?">
    Yes. The three reminder toggles are set per invoice in the builder; your settings only choose the default for new invoices.
