Introduction

Stop chasing overdue payments manually. This workflow checks Zoho Books for overdue invoices on a schedule, then immediately sends an SMS and places an automated call via Bolna to the phone number you provide.

  • Save time by pulling overdue invoices from Zoho Books on a schedule

Actions

  1. Find overdue invoices in Zoho Books: Retrieves a list of invoices with status set to overdue (with optional filters like customer, invoice number, date/due-date range, sorting, and pagination).
  2. Send an SMS reminder: Uses your selected SMS template and fills in dynamic variables (for example invoice ID, customer name, invoice number, due days, and balance) before sending the message to the customer’s phone number.
  3. Place an automated phone call: Initiates a Bolna call to the same recipient phone number using your chosen agent, so you can follow up beyond SMS when needed.
