Do I need to replace QuickBooks to use Relanco?

No. Relanco connects to your existing QuickBooks Online account via OAuth. Your invoices and client records stay in QuickBooks — Relanco adds SMS and email reminders on top.

Does Relanco work for French-speaking clients?

Yes. Relanco sends reminders in the client's language — French or English — automatically, via both SMS and email. QuickBooks can send email reminders in the language set on each customer's profile, but it requires manual per-client configuration and doesn't apply to SMS.

How long does setup take?

Under 5 minutes. Connect your QuickBooks account, set your timing and channels (SMS, email, or both), and turn it on.

Can QuickBooks send SMS invoice reminders?

No. QuickBooks Online's built-in reminders are email only. There is no SMS, WhatsApp, or text message option.

QuickBooks Invoice Reminder Alternative

QuickBooks sends email-only reminders. Relanco adds bilingual SMS, escalating tone, and reply tracking — without replacing your accounting software.

What QuickBooks reminders don't do

QuickBooks Online has a built-in reminder feature — but it's email only. If your clients are contractors on job sites who don't check email during the day, QBO reminders often go unread.

No SMS. Every QBO reminder is an email. There is no text message option.
Limited tone control.You can write different text for each of the three reminder stages, but the same message goes to every client. There's no automatic escalation based on how overdue the invoice is.
Limited bilingual control.QBO can send reminder emails in French or English based on each customer's profile language — but it requires manual per-client setup, applies to email only, and there's no way to default new clients to French.
No per-client customization. All your clients get the same reminder schedule.
No reply tracking.If a client replies to a QBO reminder, the response isn't tracked in QuickBooks.

Relanco connects to your existing QuickBooks account via OAuth and adds everything that's missing — SMS, bilingual per client, escalating tone, reply tracking — without changing your workflow.
