The guided tour only runs once — this page is for whenever you forget what a button does after that. The chat bubble in the corner of every page can also answer questions directly.
Dashboard
- Aging buckets
- Invoices grouped by how overdue they are, so what needs attention first is obvious at a glance.
- Cash-flow forecast
- A rough forecast of when your outstanding invoices are likely to get paid, based on each client's own payment history.
- Today's briefing
- Up to three invoices Tactly thinks need a reminder today, each with a one-line reason why.
- Batch draft
- Draft reminders for every overdue invoice at once instead of opening them one by one.
- Quick Add
- Snap a photo of a paper invoice or describe one out loud — Tactly pre-fills the form for you to confirm before saving.
- "Auto-drafted" reminders
- Tactly checks every time you open the dashboard for invoices that need escalating and drafts them on its own — you'll see these tagged "Auto-drafted" in that invoice's reminder history, waiting for your review.
- This month / Right now
- How much you've recovered this calendar month, and how many of your unpaid invoices are still in good shape versus at risk — recalculated live.
- Clean streak
- How many of your most recently paid invoices in a row never needed a final notice before getting paid.
- Weekly housekeeping
- Once a week, Tactly reviews your whole book of business on its own and flags invoices worth reconsidering (been through the full reminder ladder, still unpaid) and possible duplicate entries — nothing is changed automatically, it's just surfaced for you to decide.
Inside an invoice
- Tone Dial
- Friendly, firm, or final — Tactly suggests one based on how overdue the invoice is, but you can always override it.
- Generate
- Writes two draft variants plus a one-line rationale for the tone picked. Copy whichever you prefer and send it from your own inbox — nothing sends automatically.
- Suggest a date
- Proposes a sensible follow-up date based on how long this specific client has taken to pay in the past.
- Got a reply? Analyze it
- Paste what a client wrote back and get its tone read, plus a suggested next tone to use. Tactly also remembers the sentiment and factors it into every future draft for that client.
Clients page
- Risk score
- Each client's average days-late, so you know who tends to need a firmer nudge before you even start drafting.
Settings
- Signature & payment instructions
- Used to close out every draft. A banner nudges you to fill these in before your first send if they're still empty.
- Your writing voice
- Describe how you actually write (casual, formal, no jargon, whatever's true) and every draft — manual, batch, or auto-escalated — follows it instead of a generic default.
