Hi everyone,

I’m trying to set up auto-reminders for unpaid invoices in Invoice Ninja.

Can anyone guide me on how to enable this feature?

Thanks for your help!

Best,
Yannu

I’m happy to help. Are you using the desktop app or the React UI?

i am on the website is that react ui?

4

Depends on what version you are using. Can you please use the health check to see the version number?

5

where i can do that ? i have the system no like a mounth so i think the newest version

i found it https://servwave.org/rstore/2gdz4mcbgmzccdmqss8gkmidyj3yb9dnp6hrw1g0.png

Yes, that is the React UI. I’ll provide instructions in another reply.

It appears that you need to update your permissions as well. Your .env file needs to be writable by your www-data user.

8

how i do that for the permissions and where can i find the instructions?

9

That partially depends on how you installed InvoiceNinja.

Instructions can be found on this page. Scroll down to the heading called Permissions.

If you need more help, please ask.

i did that aleardy root@server-100:~/ninja/dockerfiles# ls -la env
-rw-rw-r-- 1 www-data www-data 1030 Aug 2 09:49 env
root@server-100:~/ninja/dockerfiles#

and where find i the instructions of auto reminder ?

I haven’t gotten to my computer yet, I will send it later.

@hillel Are Docker permissions any different than the other install methods? The user doesn’t have write permissions to the .env file despite running permissions changes.

okay is good. iam gonne to search for the .env file

13

I don’t believe .env permissions matter if you’re using Docker.

We’ve hidden this error in the Flutter app, it should also be hidden in the React app.

okay is good it is easyer for me haha

do I get a notification of that via email or something

You will find it under Settings > Payment Settings. Also under Settings > Workflow Settings. I do not use recurring invoices, but that may also need to be set. There is also Setting > E-invoice; however, that is not a feature that I use. So that may take a little experimentation on your part. I would recommend doing a few test emails to make sure it is working how you want.

Sorry. You also need to use Settings > Templates & Reminders. I forgot about that one.

You can also find the info below.
