Common questions

Won't a chaser message sound like it came from a robot?

Not if you give it a bit of your voice to work with. Paste in one message you've sent before, or describe how you like to come across — direct but not rude, professional but not stiff — and the AI matches it.

Should I send all three messages, or just pick one?

Pick the one that fits how late the invoice is. Use the friendly nudge for anything under two weeks; save the firmer or final notice for when it's been sitting a while. The lesson shows how to time them.

What if the customer has a dispute I don't know about?

The draft can include a line inviting them to get in touch if there's an issue — that often surfaces disputes early and keeps things civil. The lesson covers how to leave the door open without being a pushover.

Can I use these for larger commercial jobs too, not just residential callouts?

Yes — just describe the job type and amount when you prompt it. Tone for a strata manager or builder will naturally come out more formal than for a homeowner, and you can adjust from there.

Does it send the messages for me?

No. It drafts the text; you read it, make any tweaks, and send it yourself — by text, email or however you normally contact that customer.
