Payment Operations / Workflow Automation
Tidylodge did not have one simple payment path. Some clients needed a first deposit, some needed a final payment, and others needed instalment schedules. Treating those as one generic automation would have created confusion.
The solution was to break payment handling into clear, named workflow branches so each payment scenario could be tested, maintained, and activated with confidence.
The Problem
Payment workflows were too varied to manage with a single blanket Zap. The team needed clean logic for deposits, final balances, and instalment schedules without creating a fragile automation that nobody could understand later.
Payment Paths Structured
• Standard initial deposit invoice workflow
• Standard final payment invoice workflow
• Four-payment instalment invoice workflow
• Six-payment instalment invoice workflow
The Build Approach
Each path was named and separated so the team could test one scenario at a time. That makes the system easier to maintain and safer to hand over.
Operational Outcomes
• Organized multiple payment scenarios into separate workflows
• Reduced reliance on manual invoice creation
• Made future finance handoff easier to understand
