Prepare the first follow-up
Check the contact, receivable, and possible blockers before the agent prepares its first communication.
Updated
In short
Before the first follow-up, open the customer account and confirm that it has a reachable contact, a usable invoice, and an outstanding balance. Check the due date and any credit or payment already recorded, then inspect collections state. The agent should not send anything while a pause, missing data, or a human task blocks the case.
Expected result
The account contains the required data and the agent’s next action matches the due date and remaining balance.
Before you start
- The first synchronization imported the account and its documents.
- Know which billing contact should receive communications.
Procedure
- Open the customer account and check the balance and invoice that justify the follow-up.
- Review due date, paid amount, and allocated credits to prevent an unjustified reminder.
- In contacts, confirm the email address, language, and intended recipient.
- Check that no pause, insolvency proceeding, or pending task prevents the agent from acting.
- Review the next scheduled communication and correct inconsistent data instead of forcing a send.
What Billabex does
The agent builds its action from balance, invoice age, previous exchanges, and organization rules. It pauses or requests input when context does not support a safe follow-up.
If the result is not what you expected
- When no communication is scheduled, look for an active pause, payment promise, or open task.
- Correct an amount in the source when it came from the integration, then allow it to synchronize.
- Replace or disable an invalid contact before resuming the case.
