Turn due invoices into on‑time payments
This integration connects QuickBooks, Zapier, and D7 Messaging so your team never has to chase overdue bills by hand. When an invoice reaches its due date in QuickBooks, Zapier instantly triggers D7 Messaging to deliver a concise SMS with the amount due, due date, and a secure link to pay—right on your customer’s phone. It’s simple, reliable, and built for finance teams who value cash flow and efficiency.
How the QuickBooks → Invoice Due → Send SMS flow works
- Trigger in QuickBooks: An invoice reaches its due date (Invoice Due).
- Zapier automation: Zapier captures the event and passes invoice data (customer name, amount, due date, phone number, and payment link) to D7 Messaging.
- D7 Messaging delivery: A tailored SMS is sent to the customer with clear payment instructions and your preferred sender ID (where supported).
- Optional controls: Add filters to skip contacts without mobile numbers, schedule messages for business hours, include opt-out text where applicable, and add delays or escalations for second reminders.
- Visibility: Track message status in D7 Messaging and add logs back to QuickBooks or a spreadsheet via Zapier for audit trails.

Frequently asked questions
How does the QuickBooks → Invoice Due → SMS workflow function with Zapier and D7 Messaging?
When an invoice reaches its due date in QuickBooks, Zapier triggers the workflow and sends the invoice details to D7 Messaging. D7 then delivers a transactional SMS containing key fields like amount, due date, and a payment link, helping customers pay promptly.
Can I include the invoice amount, due date, and a payment link in the SMS?
Yes. Use Zapier’s dynamic fields from the QuickBooks trigger to merge variables into your D7 Messaging template—such as customer name, invoice number, amount due, due date, and a secure payment URL.
What if a contact doesn’t have a valid mobile number in QuickBooks?
Add a Zapier filter to send only when a valid mobile number exists. You can also create a branch to notify the customer via email, update your team in Slack, or tag the invoice for follow-up.
Can I restrict billing SMS alerts to business hours or specific time zones?
Yes. Combine Zapier’s Schedule/Delay steps with your customer’s time zone or your company’s operating hours to send reminders at considerate times.
Is OTP required for customers to complete payment?
Not typically. Invoice reminders are transactional notifications and don’t require OTP. If you’d like to add an extra layer of security—such as verifying a payer before sharing a payment link—you can create a separate Zap to send an OTP via D7 Messaging and verify it before sending the payment URL.
How much does this workflow cost to run?
Costs include your D7 Messaging usage (per-SMS pricing varies by destination) and your Zapier plan based on task volume. QuickBooks subscription fees apply separately. You only pay for what you send, making it easy to scale as you grow.
