Recurring invoices
For retainers and repeat service (weekly cleanings, monthly maintenance):
- In the invoice builder, set Invoice type to Recurring and pick Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, or Yearly.
- Send it like any invoice.
From then on, HoundBell creates a fresh copy on schedule, with a new invoice number and a 14-day due date, and emails it to the client automatically. Each copy is a normal invoice the client pays individually, and copies are labeled “auto-generated” in your list. The original shows a repeat badge (for example “โป monthly”).
Control it from the Invoices tab: Stop ends the schedule (history stays), and Resume restarts it, with the next copy one interval from today. If the client has no email on file, the copy is saved as a draft for you instead of being sent blind.
New options on every recurring invoice: repeat every so many weeks, months or years (every 2 months works now); pick the first invoice date; end never, after a set number of invoices, or on a date; and set the due date as so many days after each copy. Each copy can email itself as before, or save as a draft with a push so you review it first. The invoice list says the schedule in words: every 2 months, 3 of 6 sent, until Dec 31, you review each one.
