The Get-Paid Agent: One Free Claude Prompt That Chases Every Client Who Owes You Money
A free copy-paste setup that turns Claude into an agent whose only job is getting you paid: paste in your unpaid invoices and it writes each client the right reminder, friendly at a week late and firm at a month, and keeps track of who paid. How to set it up, how to use it every week, and the catch
Almost three in four freelancers say they have not been paid on time. The work is done, the invoice is sent, and then nothing. The money is yours, but asking for it feels awkward, so the follow-up email sits in drafts.
This setup gives that job to Claude. You paste in what you are owed, and it writes every client the right reminder for how late they are: a friendly nudge at one week, a clear follow-up at two, a firm final notice at a month, always polite enough to keep the client. Each week it tells you who paid, who didn't and what to send next.
What you get
- A ready-to-send reminder for every unpaid invoice, written in your voice.
- The right tone for how late each one is, from a friendly nudge to a firm final notice.
- A simple tracker of who owes what, how many days late, and what was last sent.
- A weekly check-in that tells you exactly what to send today.
Set it up once (5 minutes)
- In claude.ai, create a new Project and call it Get Paid.
- Open the project's instructions and paste in the agent prompt below.
- Optional: if your plan has connectors, turn on Gmail so Claude can save each reminder straight into your drafts. You still read and press send yourself.
