Send payment request emails and save invoices to central folder

Automatically route payment form submissions across Zapier Forms and send email requests and save invoices in Google Drive. Create and update when payment submission created, payment details submitted, or attachment omittedβ€”so you can request invoices, centralize files, and follow up without manual paperwork.

How this automation protects invoice collection

When payment form submissions are created but invoices stay unfiled, delays can disrupt reconciliations. This automation uploads invoice files and sends payment request emails, then waits and issues reminder emailsβ€”so your team can recover missing invoices quickly.
