Do you send invoices or monthly SMS/ Email Reminders to tenants? See my free and automated method for small-time landlords

[Jeff Bridges]

Do you send invoices or monthly SMS/ Email Reminders to tenants? If so, what service do you use or do you do it manually? What free options exist? 

I think I found a good one using IFFT website. I created a automatic recipe that sends reminders to my tenants on the 28th of each month that rent is due soon. This is completely automatic and it can be used with tenants that only have a cell phone and no email since you can lookup the cell phone email that gets sent to tenant as a text message using gmail.

I'm going to start using this for my tenants that are unable to use williampaid or other online rent payment service.

Take a look below:

this is how you lookup the tenant SMS email equivalent for their carrier:

Would you rather get late fees or on time payments?

What do you think of the IFFT recipe? Can it be improved?
