Automatic Invoice Reminders Not Sending

Automatic Invoice reminders are not being sent.

 

The Automatic Invoice Reminders setting is on and has always been on. Three Reminders are supposed to send -  one 7 days before due date, one on the due date, and one 7 days after the due date.

 

One month ago we had a Quickbooks agent on a screenshare session for over two hours. No resolution, no follow-up, and still no answer as to why reminders aren't being sent. Apparently it's just another feature broken by the changes Quickbooks is making to invoicing.

 

I recommend everyone check your invoice history and make sure those reminders are actually going out. If not, you're paying for a service that isn't being delivered.

@MariaSoledadG  We already have the transcript of our last conversation which took over two hours. During that time, the Quickbooks agent did a screenshare, took screenshots, brought on another agent while on the chat, and got our callback number to provide an update.

 

We have heard nothing back and we do not have time to do all of that again.

Did you ever get this sorted out? I am having the same issue now. No one at Quickbooks seems to know anything. I've wasted hours on this.

Same thing is now happening to me. Have you figured this out? I've wasted hours with Quickbooks too and no one seems to know what's going on with it.

Hello there, @jtrees313. I can see how concerning it is when your automatic reminders stop going out as expected. It’s important that your invoicing works reliably so you can stay focused on your business goals rather than manual follow-ups.

 

I’m bringing in our Next Level Help team to get to the bottom of this for you. They will carefully review your Community posts and your previous support history to understand the full scope of what’s happening with these reminders. You can expect to hear from one of our experts within 1–2 business days to discuss the next steps.

Sorry @jtrees313 I don't remember what ended up happening with this. I do know for this client we simply turned off invoice reminders for a while and eventually went back to two reminders per invoice. I think a Quickbooks update broke the invoice reminders and then another Quickbooks update changed how they work and that fixed it for some clients and broke it again for others.
