From then on it runs
On a schedule or when something happens. You can change it in chat at any time.
Every morning at 9:15, send me every reservation whose deposit or prepayment under the rate was due by today and is still unpaid: guest or company, arrival, rate, amount due, due date and days overdue. Groups and arrivals in the next 7 days first. Don’t write to any guest, don’t charge anything and don’t cancel anything.
Step by step in the documentation: Create a report in chat and Schedule a report.
What the result looks like
The report arrives on schedule, wherever your team reads it.
