Get paid without the awkward follow-up.

Scotive matches each open invoice from QuickBooks, Xero, or FreshBooks to the Gmail or Outlook thread, sends Friendly reminders you approve, and pauses the moment they reply. Firm emails wait for a click.

01The problem

Your invoicing tools already send reminders, but they only know the date — and they are dumb.

QuickBooks, Xero, and FreshBooks send reminders on a calendar. They cannot see the Gmail or Outlook thread, so they keep sending after the client already talked — and they never write the next email from your inbox.

The gap

A calendar is not context

Day 7 overdue is not the same as “paying Friday,” a question on the PO, or “we already paid.” Date-based reminders treat all of those as the same stamp.

The gap

You still have to write the next email

The invoicing tool sends a canned note from its own domain. You are still in Gmail guessing the wording — and waiting weeks because it feels awkward.

The gap

They do not know when to stop

If the client already replied, the next dated reminder still goes. If they promised a day, you still get “overdue.” You are the one who has to notice and pull it back.

The gap

After they talk, you are the system

A reply, a pay date they named, or “we already paid” is not on the reminder calendar. You rebuild the next chase from sent mail, every week, across a pile of open invoices.

Don’t worry. Scotive is built for all four.

02The solution

Same four gaps. Closed from the thread on that invoice.

Scotive fetches the invoice, matches the Gmail or Outlook thread, sends Friendly reminders you approve, and pauses the moment they reply. Firm emails wait for a click.

Scotive

The thread is the brake

It reads that invoice’s Gmail or Outlook conversation. A reply, a pay date they named, or “we already paid” is not another overdue stamp — Friendly stops so you are not the one who has to notice.

Scotive

The next email is already drafted

Friendly reminders go from your address, on the same thread, with a pay link. When they reply, you write the next email — you are not guessing “just checking in” on silence.

Scotive

It knows when to hold

If they replied, Friendly stops. You pick a date to check back if still unpaid. No second reminder on an open conversation. Firm emails still need a click.

Scotive

Needs you, Watching, or Paid

Replies and Firm sit in Needs you. A check-back date sits in Watching. Paid in the books ends the chase. You are not reconstructing next steps from sent mail.

03How it works

Sign up. Connect. Friendly reminders run. You approve anything firmer.

Scotive pulls invoices from your invoicing tools, keeps the Gmail or Outlook thread on each one in sync, and runs the chase from your inbox.

01

Connect the inbox and the invoicing tool

After you sign up, connect Gmail or Outlook — or both — where clients actually talk. Then connect QuickBooks, Xero, or FreshBooks. Scotive pulls the invoices, then the conversations that belong to them. New mail keeps syncing, so a reply tomorrow is on the same invoice.

Friendly reminders send while they stay silent

You approve the Friendly ladder once. A heads-up before due, a note on the due date, another a week later — from your Gmail or Outlook, on the same thread. Needs you is for replies, Firm drafts, and a check-back date that came due unpaid.

Firm waits for you

After Friendly, Scotive drafts a firmer email. You read it and click send. Nothing firmer goes out alone — a bot that keeps nagging after someone already talked starts to hurt the relationship.

04

They reply. The ladder stops.

A reply lands on that invoice, not in a separate pile. Friendly stops. Needs you. You write the next email and pick a date to check back if they still have not paid. When the books hit $0, the chase ends.

How the chase runs — and when it stops

Friendly reminders follow the due date while they stay silent. The Gmail or Outlook thread is the brake. Paid in QuickBooks, Xero, or FreshBooks ends the chase.

Before due

A short Friendly heads-up can send from your Gmail or Outlook.

Due date

A Friendly check-in can send the day it is due.

A week overdue

Another Friendly reminder, same thread, same address.

Firm

Scotive drafts it. You read it and click send. Nothing firmer goes out alone.

They replied

The ladder stops. Needs you. You write the next email and pick when to check back if still unpaid.

Paid in the books

QuickBooks, Xero, or FreshBooks hits $0. The chase ends.

04Who it’s for

Built for agencies and consultants who already send invoices.

If you have a pile of open invoices and still follow up from Gmail or Outlook, Scotive is the layer on top of the books you already keep.

06FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does the free trial work?
Every account starts with a 30-day free trial. Then $29/month, or $290/year (2 months free).
What happens when a client replies?
Friendly reminders stop. The invoice moves to Needs you. You write the next email, then pick a date to check back if they still have not paid. Scotive does not send another ‘just checking in’ on an open conversation.
Do I still need QuickBooks, Xero, or FreshBooks?
Yes. Those stay the ledger. Scotive sits on top: it matches each open invoice to the Gmail or Outlook thread and runs the follow-up from your address.
Will it send firmer emails on its own?
Friendly reminders can go out on the schedule you approve. Anything firmer waits for a click.
