Xero data contract
Use the ledger as truth. Add the decision layer it lacks.
DueHello monitors receivables from the connected organisation and evaluates each next action against the configured policy. Connect the organisation, choose the accounts and invoice states in scope, then validate sender and approval rules.
Evidence remains attached to the decision.
For this workflow, DueHello keeps aging position, touch history, exception reason. The team can see what happened without reconstructing it from inboxes.

Questions before you put it into production.
How is overdue invoice follow-up used by a engineering firm?+
DueHello monitors project stages, time charges and variation orders, applies the configured receivables policy and records why each action was sent, paused or routed to project director and commercial finance.
What data does DueHello use from Xero?+
The workflow uses contact and invoice number, currency, total and amount due, issue date and due date, status and organisation. DueHello monitors receivables from the connected organisation and evaluates each next action against the configured policy.
What stops the overdue invoice follow-up workflow?+
The workflow stops or changes route when the payer responds, pays, disputes or needs an internal decision. DueHello then separate genuine delay from certification or variation-order review.
Does DueHello replace the finance or account team?+
No. DueHello performs the permitted follow-up and brings exceptions to the accountable person with the context and evidence needed to decide.
