Creating Reminder Rules

When you create a reminder rule you can configure the following:

• The company in your org that the reminders are sent from.
• The number of days from the due date that the reminder is sent.
• The email template that is used to send reminders.
• Use Conga to attach sales invoices or billing documents to the reminder email.
• Whether the reminders are sent from an org-wide email address.
• Whether the rule is automated.
• Whether the rule is active.

Automated reminder rules are scheduled to run daily. You can select the time that you want the automated reminders to be sent. You cannot automate a rule if you are using Conga attachments.

Notes:
If you have multiple companies in your org that you want to send reminders from, you must create separate reminder rules for each company.
Each rule that you create must be unique.
