Future-Dated Payments & Reminders
We deal with many students who prefer to pay using a series of post-dated cheques.
We'd like to set up automated e-mail reminders to let them know that we will be depositing their payment. Currently, the only way I've found this is to do the following:
- Create / receive a payment with a future date
- Create a calendar event for the payment (involves creating a separate location and separate calendar type)
- Set up an automated e-mail reminder (which, unfortunately, goes to the student as well as the parent - no current workaround)
- Make the event last from 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM (as the system requires a time)
It would be great to see the system handle this better. One method could be to simply include a "Send payment reminder via e-mail" in any payment registered for a future date, with a time selection of when the e-mail would be sent, similar to how automated e-mail reminders work for calendar events.
