Send tone-adjusted overdue invoice reminder emails
n8n · Finance, Accountants · checked 2026-11-02
A DEV Community n8n tutorial builds a collections agent that reads an internal invoice table, finds rows that are past due with a Pending status and a positive balance, then drafts and sends reminder emails. The agent prompt sets tone rules: polite under seven days overdue, firmer after fourteen-plus days, using today’s date to compute delay. Tools fetch invoice rows and send the finalized message to the customer email on the row. The workflow returns a JSON summary of emails sent with customer name, amount, days overdue, subject, and body. Triggering is chat-based inside n8n, with a Gemini chat model as the reasoning layer and short-term memory so the agent keeps context while calling tools.
