Invoice Tracker

Stop chasing payments manually. This skill tracks your sent invoices, flags overdue ones, and drafts polite-but-firm payment reminders — so you get paid faster without the awkward follow-ups.

Run it weekly on a cron, or trigger it whenever you need to check who owes you money.

What You Get

  • All outstanding invoices organized by status (paid, pending, overdue, severely overdue)
  • Automatic overdue detection based on payment terms
  • Drafted payment reminder emails for each overdue invoice
  • Aging report showing how long invoices have been outstanding
  • Revenue summary (total billed, total collected, total outstanding)
  • Setup

    Required

  • Invoice list — A CSV file, Google Sheet, or any structured list your agent can read. Minimum columns: client name, invoice number, amount, date sent, due date, status (paid/unpaid). More columns = better context.
  • Optional (but recommended)

  • Send access — Gmail or email provider if you want the agent to send reminders after your approval
  • Accounting integration — QuickBooks, FreshBooks, Wave, or Stripe for automatic invoice data
  • Delivery channel — Telegram/Discord for overdue alerts
  • Configuration

    Tell your agent:

    1. Invoice list location — file path, Google Sheet URL, or accounting tool connection 2. Payment terms — your standard terms (default: Net 30) 3. Reminder style — your tone for follow-ups (professional, friendly, firm, casual) 4. Overdue thresholds — when to escalate (default: 7 days past due = reminder, 30 days = urgent, 60 days = escalation) 5. Check schedule — when to run (default: every Monday at 9:00 AM local) 6. Delivery — where to send the invoice digest (Telegram, Discord, file) 7. Currency — your billing currency (default: USD)

    How It Works

    Step 1: Load Invoice Data

  • Read your invoice list from the configured source
  • For each invoice, extract: client name, invoice number, amount, date sent, due date, payment status, notes
  • Calculate days outstanding for each unpaid invoice
  • Step 2: Categorize Invoices

    Sort all unpaid invoices into categories:

    🟢 CURRENT — Not yet due

  • Due date is in the future
  • No action needed
  • 🟡 DUE SOON — Due within 7 days

  • Approaching due date
  • Optional: send a friendly pre-due reminder
  • 🔴 OVERDUE — Past due date (1-30 days)

  • Payment is late
  • Draft a polite reminder email
  • ⚫ SEVERELY OVERDUE — 30+ days past due

  • Payment is significantly late
  • Draft a firmer follow-up with escalation language
  • Step 3: Draft Reminders

    For each overdue invoice, draft a payment reminder:

  • First reminder (1-7 days overdue): Friendly, assume they forgot. "Just a quick reminder that Invoice #X is now past due."
  • Second reminder (8-14 days overdue): Professional but direct. "Following up on Invoice #X — please let me know if there are any questions about this balance."
  • Third reminder (15-30 days overdue): Firm. "Invoice #X is now [X] days past due. Please arrange payment at your earliest convenience."
  • Escalation (30+ days): Serious. "This is a final notice regarding Invoice #X. If we don't receive payment by [date], we may need to discuss next steps."
  • Match the configured reminder style. Mark all as DRAFT — never send without approval.

    Step 4: Compile Invoice Digest

    Format the digest:

    💰 Invoice Digest — [Date]

    📊 REVENUE STATUS Total billed (all time): $[X] Total collected: $[X] | Outstanding: $[X] Overdue amount: $[X] across [X] invoices

    ⚫ SEVERELY OVERDUE ([X] invoices — $[X] total) 1. [Client] — Invoice #[X] — $[amount] Sent: [date] | Due: [date] | [X] days overdue 📝 Reminder draft ready

    🔴 OVERDUE ([X] invoices — $[X] total) 2. [Client] — Invoice #[X] — $[amount] Sent: [date] | Due: [date] | [X] days overdue 📝 Reminder draft ready

    🟡 DUE SOON ([X] invoices — $[X] total) 3. [Client] — Invoice #[X] — $[amount] Due: [date] ([X] days)

    🟢 CURRENT ([X] invoices — $[X] total) All on track — no action needed

    💡 INSIGHTS • Oldest overdue: [Client] — [X] days ($[amount]) • Largest outstanding: [Client] — $[amount] • Collection rate this month: [X]%

    Step 5: Deliver & Track

  • Send digest via configured channel
  • Show full reminder drafts below the digest for review
  • When user approves ("send reminder 1" or "send all"), send the emails
  • After sending, log the reminder in the invoice notes with today's date
  • Update invoice status if payment is confirmed
  • Examples

    User: "Check my invoices"

    Agent runs the workflow and responds:

    > 💰 Invoice Digest — Monday, March 10 > > 📊 REVENUE STATUS > Total billed: $47,200 | Collected: $38,500 | Outstanding: $8,700 > Overdue: $4,200 across 3 invoices > > ⚫ SEVERELY OVERDUE (1 invoice — $2,400) > 1. Greenfield Properties — Invoice #1047 — $2,400 > Sent: Jan 15 | Due: Feb 14 | 24 days overdue > 📝 Draft: "Hi Lisa, this is a follow-up regarding Invoice #1047 for $2,400, now 24 days past due. Could you please provide an update on the payment timeline?" > > 🔴 OVERDUE (2 invoices — $1,800) > 2. TechStart Inc — Invoice #1052 — $1,200 > Sent: Feb 10 | Due: Mar 2 | 8 days overdue > 📝 Draft: "Hey James, just a friendly reminder that Invoice #1052 is a bit past due. Let me know if you have any questions about it." > > 3. Bloom Studio — Invoice #1054 — $600 > Sent: Feb 20 | Due: Mar 7 | 3 days overdue > 📝 Draft: "Hi Maria, quick heads up — Invoice #1054 was due on March 7th. Just wanted to make sure it didn't slip through the cracks!" > > 🟢 CURRENT (4 invoices — $4,500) > All on track
