1.Monitors new billing emails
Integrate Gmail and email labeling tools to detect billing inbox messages and start dunning reminder preparation.
Send staged invoice reminders to overdue customers by days
Automatically detect new billing inbox emails across Gmail and convert them into dunning-ready reminder drafts using Code by Zapier and Google Sheets. Create and route drafts when days outstanding reaches 72, 48, or 24βso you can contact customers, document escalation owners, and reduce manual follow-up without reporting.
How this automation accelerates your overdue follow-up
When billing notices arrive in your inbox, overdue accounts can slip through and follow-up gets delayed. This automation parses days outstanding, looks up escalation contacts, and creates path-based Gmail draftsβso your team can recover receivables faster.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism β I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
Rishi Shah, CEO and Co-Founder
