# Overdue Invoice Reminder

With workflows, you can automate actions like sending a copy of an invoice to a customer when it is generated.

Another common use case is sending a payment reminder when an invoice becomes overdue — that is, the due date has passed and the invoice remains unpaid.

To set this up, follow these steps:

1. **Create a new workflow**
2. **Configure the trigger:**
   * **Module**: Invoice
   * **Event**: Invoice Overdue Event
3. **Add a trigger condition** to ensure the invoice is still overdue before the reminder is sent:
   * **Property**: Invoice | Is Overdue
   * **Operator**: Equals
   * **Value**: `true`
4. **Optional: Add a "Wait" action** if you want to delay the reminder (e.g. send it 5 days after the invoice becomes overdue):
   * **Action type**: Wait
   * **Wait time**: For a defined period
   * **Duration**: 5 days
5. **Add the email action** to send the reminder:

   * **Action type**: Send Email
   * **Send to**: Invoice Owner
   * **Email template**: Overdue Invoice Reminder
     *  If you haven't already, create an "Overdue Invoice Reminder" email template from the predefined templates list
