Feature

Pause follow-up cleanly when the situation changes.

Collections work is not purely automatic. Sometimes a customer asks for time, a dispute needs space, or the owner wants to hold off for a few days. ChaseNow includes pause controls so the system stays useful in real-world edge cases.

How it works

How pause follow-up works in ChaseNow

Open the invoice and use the chase controls to pause the active sequence.

Optionally set a resume date so the follow-up restarts automatically.

Resume manually if the customer confirms a new payment window before the selected date.

Chase controls

Pause now, resume later

Pause action available on the invoice
Optional resume date for automatic restart
State remains visible in the dashboard
This keeps automation from becoming reckless when the owner needs judgment and flexibility.

Why it matters

Why teams pay for pause follow-up

A collections tool without pause controls forces owners to choose between chaos and over-automation.

Pause is essential when the customer relationship still matters but the invoice cannot be pushed aggressively for a short window.

It also makes the dashboard state more trustworthy because paused invoices are clearly separated from active chases.

FAQ

Does pause stop the follow-up cron?

Yes. A paused invoice should not continue sending reminders until it is resumed.

Can I choose when the chase resumes?

Yes. Pause supports an optional resume date for automatic restart.

Will I lose the event history if I pause it?

No. The event log remains attached to the invoice so you keep the full collection trail.
