How to Use PostSheet for Personalized Reminders About Payment, Billing, or Subscription Renewals

No one likes chasing payments.
But done right, a reminder can be helpful — not awkward.

Whether it’s:

💳 An upcoming renewal
📅 An overdue invoice
🧾 A credit card about to expire
💼 A contract that needs review

With Google Sheets + PostSheet, you can send clear, kind, personalized billing reminders that get the job done — while keeping the relationship strong.

Let’s show you how to stay on top of revenue without sounding like a collections bot.

💰 Why Personalized Payment Reminders Work Better

Automated billing emails often get ignored. But personal-feeling reminders:

✅ Get higher response rates
✅ Reduce late payments
✅ Protect customer relationships
✅ Show that you’re on top of things
✅ Lead to more proactive renewals

And with PostSheet, it’s just as scalable — but way more human.

📋 Step 1: Build Your Billing Tracker in Google Sheets

You might already have this in Stripe, QuickBooks, or your CRM — now, bring it into a sheet with fields like:

NameEmailCompanyBilling TypeDue DateAmount DueCustom NotePayment Link
Jamie Wongjamie@email.comAcme Co.Renewal (Annual)2025-05-15$2,500Will move to Pro tier next cyclelink.com/pay-jamie
Alex Riveraalex@email.comBolt StudioCredit Card Expiring2025-05-12N/AStripe shows card expiringlink.com/update-card-alex

Optional: status, invoice ID, account manager, last email sent

✉️ Step 2: Write a Friendly, Clear Reminder in PostSheet

Tailor tone based on billing type — polite, but direct.

Renewal Reminder Example:

Copy

Subject: Your {{Billing Type}} is coming up

Hi {{Name}},

Just a heads-up — your {{Billing Type}} for {{Company}} is due on **{{Due Date}}**.

💵 Amount: {{Amount Due}}  

🔗 Pay or review here: {{Payment Link}}

{{#Custom Note}}

Keep tone gentle — this is about reducing friction, not pressure.

🚀 Step 3: Send Payment Reminders at Scale with PostSheet

  1. Filter your sheet by Due Date = next 7 days (or Status = unpaid)
  2. Connect your sheet to PostSheet
  3. Map fields like {{Billing Type}}, {{Due Date}}, {{Payment Link}}
  4. Preview — personalize for top accounts if needed
  5. Send and update a “Reminder Sent” column

Bonus: schedule weekly sends so no invoice or renewal slips through.

🔁 Bonus: Use for Post-Payment and Follow-Up

Add additional flows for:

  • ✅ “Thanks for your payment”
  • 🧾 “Here’s your receipt or invoice”
  • 🧠 “Let’s chat about next cycle”
  • 💬 “We’d love feedback before your renewal”
  • 🚫 “Your account is now paused — here’s how to resume”

Just build in logic with “Status” or “Payment Outcome” columns.
