Dunning and collections follow-up
Ceven works the aging list, drafts a tailored follow-up per account, and holds each one for approval before it sends.
Why overdue invoices slip through the cracks
Chasing overdue invoices is steady, unglamorous work that quietly falls behind. Someone pulls the aging report from QuickBooks or NetSuite, cross-checks what Stripe and Bill.com show as paid, and works out who to email, what to say, and how firmly to say it. Because it is manual, the follow-ups go out unevenly, some accounts get chased twice while others are forgotten, and the tone rarely matches how important or how late the customer is. The context lives in one collector's head, so coverage collapses when they are out. Cash that is owed sits uncollected not because anyone decided to wait, but because the follow-up was never sent.
How the workflow works the aging list
You describe the outcome in plain language, and Ceven builds a workflow that reads the aging list from QuickBooks or NetSuite, confirms payment status against Stripe and Bill.com so paid invoices are never chased, and sorts each overdue account by how late and how large it is. For every account it drafts the right next touch in Gmail, a gentle nudge early, a firmer notice as it ages, with the invoice details filled in, and it can flag the largest or most delinquent accounts to a collector in Slack. AI steps choose the tone and assemble the message, while the receivable itself stays in the accounting system. That ledger remains the record, because Ceven runs around your tools rather than replacing them.
A person approves before any email sends
No follow-up sends until a person approves it. The drafted messages arrive for review, and a collector can edit the wording, change the timing, exclude an account, or approve the batch to go out. Once approved, the workflow sends through Gmail and records every touch in the audit trail, so there is an exportable history of who was contacted, with what message, and when, tied back to the specific invoice. Money-adjacent communication reaches the customer only after a human has signed off on it.
What it connects to
You can start free with no credit card. Connect Stripe, QuickBooks, NetSuite, Bill.com, Gmail, and Slack, describe how you want overdue accounts worked, and Ceven builds the follow-up workflow across its library of more than a thousand tools. Because it runs around your ledger, the accounting system stays the source of truth for what is owed while the chasing becomes consistent and timely. Coverage no longer collapses when one collector is out, because the workflow keeps drafting and a person keeps approving.
Frequently asked
Does it email customers on its own?
No. Ceven drafts each follow-up and holds it at an approval gate. A collector reviews the message and timing, and only after approval does anything send through Gmail.
Which billing and accounting tools does it use?
It connects across more than a thousand tools, including Stripe, QuickBooks, NetSuite, Bill.com, Gmail, and Slack, so it can read the aging list and payment status wherever they live.
How does it avoid chasing paid invoices?
It reconciles the aging report against payment status in Stripe and Bill.com before drafting, so accounts that have already paid are excluded, and every action is written to an exportable audit trail.
Is Ceven our system of record for receivables?
No. The receivable stays in your accounting system; Ceven runs the collections workflow around it rather than becoming the ledger of record.
