Total Party Planner Automated Final Payment Reminders

Every morning, WebRun opens Total Party Planner, finds events within 10 days whose final balance isn't paid, cross-checks the real payment status in QuickBooks, and drafts a Gmail reminder for each client for you to review and send.

In short

How do I automatically remind catering clients about a final balance due?

WebRun checks Total Party Planner every morning for events in the next 10 days with a final balance still due, then confirms the real payment status directly in QuickBooks before drafting anything. It drafts a Gmail reminder with the exact amount owed for each client, leaving it queued for your review, so a paid client never gets chased by mistake.

  • Final balances get chased with 10 days of lead time before the event
  • Payment status is confirmed in QuickBooks so paid clients are never rechased
  • Every reminder is reviewed by you before it reaches a client

Questions, answered

Will it email clients about their balance without my approval?

No. Every reminder is saved as a Gmail draft with the exact balance filled in. Nothing reaches a client until you review it and click Send.

Why check QuickBooks if the balance is already in Total Party Planner?

Payments don't always post to both systems at the same time. Checking QuickBooks directly means a client who already paid never gets a reminder by mistake.

How close to the event date does it start reminding?

It checks events in the next 10 days by default, giving the client enough notice before the balance is due. You can adjust that window when you set it up.
