In short

How do I automatically chase overdue invoices for my pest control business?

WebRun opens GorillaDesk every Monday, finds every overdue invoice, and drafts a polite payment reminder in Gmail for each customer. Your team reviews and approves each draft before it is sent. A Slack chase list shows all outstanding balances sorted by age so your billing team can prioritize follow-ups.

  • Every overdue invoice gets a reminder draft each Monday without manual searching
  • Outstanding balance is visible in Slack before the work week begins
  • No payment reminder goes to a customer without human review first

Built for pest control companies · exterminator businesses · field service billing teams · small pest control operators

Questions, answered

Will it email customers without my approval?

No. Every reminder is saved as a Gmail draft for your team to review first. Nothing goes to a customer until a human approves and sends it.

What if a customer already paid since the last run?

It reads the live invoice status in GorillaDesk each Monday, so any invoice that has been paid since the last run is skipped automatically.

Can I customize the reminder wording?

Yes. Give WebRun a tone guide or a sample message and it will match your company voice in every draft it creates.

Put this on autopilot.

Turn it on in minutes - or have our team set it up for you.
