No-code automations

Use Mollie Dashboard automations for recurring invoices, payment reminders, and e-invoicing enrollment without building these workflows using the API. These features are configured in the Mollie Dashboard and run automatically.

Recurring invoice schedules

Mollie can automatically generate and send invoices with a fixed interval. You do not need to make an API call for each occurrence.

Setting up recurring invoicing

Use either one of these entry points:

  • Go to your Mollie Web App > open Invoices > + Create, then switch to the Recurring tab.
  • Go to Recurring > + Create.

Available settings

You can control a bunch of settings for your recurring invoicing:

  • Interval - how often Mollie generates the invoice:
    • Daily

    • Weekly

    • Monthly

    • Quarterly

    • Yearly

  • Duration - the date range in which the schedule runs. The start date defaults to today. Set an end date or leave the schedule running forever.
  • Invoice template - contains the details Mollie uses for every invoice:
    • Profile, customer and payment term
    • Line items, including product, quantity, price and VAT rate
    • VAT mode, including or excluding VAT
    • Memo (optional)
    • Discount (optional)
  • Delivery - how Mollie sends each invoice after you save the template as a draft:
    • Send mail — PDF invoice by email
    • Send e-invoice — delivery through the e-invoicing network (e.g., Peppol)
    • Send mail & e-invoice — both

You can also set the sending time (including hour of the day) and customize the email subject and body.

Once you are happy with the settings you selected, click Schedule to activate the schedule.

Schedule statuses

StatusDescription
ActiveRunning — invoices are generated and sent with the configured interval.
PausedTemporarily stopped — no invoices are generated until you reactivate the schedule.
CompletedThe end date has been reached and the schedule is finished.
CancelledStopped permanently.

All schedules appear on the Recurring page with their customer, amount, interval, status and creation date.

📘

Each invoice issued on a schedule follows the normal invoice lifecycle, draft → issued. You receive webhooks for each generated invoice, just as you do for manually created invoices.

Email reminders

Mollie automatically sends payment reminder emails to recipients of unpaid invoices. You can configure the timing by going to Settings > Invoicing > Email reminders.

By default, Mollie sends:

  • A reminder 1 day before the due date if the invoice is still unpaid.
  • A follow-up 3 days after the due date if the invoice is still unpaid.

Reminders apply to all issued invoices, including invoices created using the API. You do not need to set up reminders for each invoice.

E-invoicing enrollment

When you enable E-Invoicing (go to Settings > Invoicing), Mollie automatically registers your business in the relevant e-invoicing network for your country. Turning it off unenrolls you.

Once enrolled, Mollie handles network registration and checks whether your recipient is registered before each delivery. Set isEInvoice: true on the invoice; Mollie handles the rest automatically.
