Step-by-Step Breakdown

Detailed explanation of each automated stage in the workflow.

  1. 1
    Trigger

    Monthly rent due date

    The system automatically triggers on the monthly rent due date for all active storage units. This initiates the rent collection process across the entire facility.

  2. 2
    Action

    Process automatic payment methods

    The system attempts to charge all tenants with autopay enabled using stored credit cards, bank accounts, or ACH information. Payment confirmations are recorded in the tenant management system.

  3. 3
    Decision

    Check payment success status

    The workflow evaluates whether each tenant's automatic payment was successful or failed. This determines the next action for each individual account.

  4. 4
    Action

    Send initial late notice

    For tenants with failed or missing payments, the system automatically sends personalized late payment notices via email and SMS. The notice includes payment amount, late fees, and online payment links.

  5. 5
    Action

    Schedule escalating reminders

    The system sets up a series of increasingly urgent payment reminders at 7, 14, and 21 days past due. Each reminder includes updated balance information and lien warnings.

  6. 6
    Action

    Generate delinquency reports

    The workflow creates detailed reports of all delinquent accounts, payment success rates, and outstanding balances. These reports are automatically sent to management for review.
