Setup Guide: Auto-Sending Invoices

Automatically send customer invoices on a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule in Copilot CRM.

Updated this week

Introduction

The Auto-Send feature in Copilot allows you to automatically send your customers’ invoices on a recurring schedule — helping you maintain consistent billing and reduce manual work.

Note: Auto-Sending Invoices is available on the Starter plan and above.


Step 1: Enable Auto-Send

  1. Click the gear icon (⚙️) in the top-right corner of your Copilot screen.

  2. Navigate to Settings > Invoices, Estimates & Receipts.

  3. Scroll down to the Invoice Settings section.

  4. Find the Enable Auto-Sending Invoices toggle and switch it on to activate the feature.

Once enabled, additional Auto-Send options will appear for configuration.


Step 2: Choose Your Sending Frequency

After enabling Auto-Send, select how often invoices are automatically sent.
You can choose between Daily, Weekly, or Monthly delivery.

Important: Changing these settings from the global Settings page will affect all customers unless you customize Auto-Send at the customer level (see below).

Daily Auto-Send

Choose whether invoices should send:

  • Every Weekday (Monday–Friday), or

  • Every Day (including weekends)

This option is ideal for high-volume or daily service operations that bill customers frequently.

Weekly Auto-Send

Select one or more specific days of the week when invoices should be sent.

Example: You can choose both Monday and Friday if you prefer to send invoices twice per week.

Monthly Auto-Send

Choose one of the following options:

  • A specific day of the month (e.g., the 1st or 15th).

  • A recurring weekday pattern, such as the first Monday of every month.

This option is commonly used for monthly billing cycles or recurring service plans.


Step 3: Apply Settings to All Customers

After setting your preferred frequency, look for the blue banner labeled:
“Update invoice auto-sending setting to all customers.”

Clicking this button applies your Auto-Send settings to all existing customers.

Note: If you do not click the Update button, the new settings will only apply to newly created customers going forward.


Step 4: Configure Customer-Specific Auto-Send Settings

If certain customers need unique billing schedules, you can override the global settings at the customer level.

  1. Go to the Customers page.

  2. Select a customer to open their profile.

  3. In the Invoice Settings section on the right-hand side, expand the dropdown.

  4. Enable and adjust their Auto-Send settings as needed.

This lets you tailor invoice delivery schedules for customers who prefer different billing frequencies.


Best Practices

  • Use Weekly or Monthly Auto-Send for predictable billing cycles.

  • Combine Auto-Send with Auto-Charge (available on Enterprise) for completely automated invoicing and payment collection.

  • Review Auto-Send logs periodically to ensure invoices are being delivered as expected.
