Settings for When to Send Bill Notifications

Use the Enable Bill Notifications check box in combination with Send Options to determine if/when notifications are sent.

  • Enable Bill Notifications lets you turn notifications on/off at any time.

  • Begin Sending Notifications After date lets you specify a future date to begin sending notifications.

  • Send the notifications immediately sends notifications immediately after the invoices for a Bill Period are approved (either by your billing team via the RunCenter web module or by an IDI associate on your behalf).

  • Send the notifications at a specific time lets you establish a specific time of day to send notifications.

    Note

    If the approval happens after the configured time, the notifications will be sent the following day at the specified time.

  • Send on weekdays only lets you avoid sending notifications on the weekend and delay sending them until the Monday following approval. This may be used in the case that invoices are approved on a Friday after the send time, or on Saturday or Sunday.

  • Exclude invoices totaling zero will not send a notification to an account where the total amount due on the invoice is $0.00.

  • Autopay Notification Template lets you optionally specify a separate template for notifications to accounts enrolled in Autopay.
