Add placeholders

Placeholders can be seen on the right of the template text editor.

 

They're automatically populated by information specific to your customer's business, the recipient, or the invoice you're chasing. For example, in each chaser, the placeholder <invoice_refnum> is replaced by the reference number of the invoice being chased.

 

Place your cursor in the area of the email you would like to add a placeholder, and click to add.

 

Click Save template.

View your schedules

Click Manage then Schedules and select one of the existing schedules. 

 

Each row represents a chaser. In the first column, you can see when each chaser is sent in respect to the invoice due date.

 

If a customer has more than one unpaid invoice, Chaser automatically groups these together when chasing.

 

You can preview which single templates and multi templates will be sent at each stage.
