Adopt reminders when moving in

Payfriend never automatically reminds on imported invoices until you actively adopt them under Invoices → Adopt reminders.

Written by Nicki Elgaard

When invoices are imported from e-conomic, Dinero, or Billy, Payfriend must not send reminders until you actively allow it. That happens under Invoices → Adopt reminders.

Before you start

  • Move-in/import has run (invoices mirrored)

  • You have a reminder flow ready — or you’ll create one after

  • You know which customers were already reminded in the old system

Steps

1. Go to Invoices → Adopt reminders

2. Review the list

Unpaid imported invoices: customer, amount, due date, suggested reminder step if shown.

3. Understand reminder steps

  • Dinero: Payfriend often knows existing steps and continues from there.

  • e-conomic: history isn’t stored the same way — confirm the step yourself.

4. Choose which invoices Payfriend may follow up

Select cases to adopt. Skip disputes, third-party collection, or active dialogue cases.

5. Confirm

Your flow can then run on the selected invoices.

Check that it worked

  • Adopted invoices are no longer blocked from automation

  • No unexpected reminders fired immediately (check flow timing)

  • Steps look right on a sample

Common issues

Symptom

Cause

Fix

Menu missing

No unpaid imports / module

Check import; see Move-in

Reminder restarts at step 1

Step not confirmed (e-conomic)

Set correct step when adopting

Too many emails

Adopted too broadly + aggressive flow

Pause flow; adjust steps

Next steps

Important: Payfriend is not a collections product. Adoption is about professional reminders — not debt collection.
