write Confirm

Follows up an invoice yourself, as Veiviser for forfalt faktura → Lag en påminnelse eller purring → Følg opp på egenhånd does. Type reminder is a payment reminder, type dunning is a purring. Fiken offers no reminder before the due date, and no fee or collection step until 14 days after it, so earlier calls fail. Reminders go out by email or letter, never as EHF. Sending a case to external follow-up (inkasso) is not part of this tool. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

Parameters

Parameters: create_reminder

invoice_id integer required integer Invoice ID from list_invoices or create_invoice.
