AutoHound
Updates
-
Added in v1.1 is "auto text" which texts the person/company in question that owes you money automatically, you can configure AutoHound where it will text the person(s) in question a week straight, and you can edit the script to your liking for the relevant time and date, this can be done by using the Twilio API. One of the few things you'll need if you want this function to work properly is Sinatra, which can be installed by running
gem install sinatra. -
Added in v2.0 is auto voice dialing using TTSAutomate, with a ratelimit of 10 minutes. Auto texting also improved from v1.1.
Usage
If you're owed money, and it's 3+ months overdue, the ruby script will email person everyday until invoice is paid, with Harvest invoice(s) in question attached as a PDF.
Install your dependencies git submodule update —init, then sudo gem install active_resource_throttle. Then retrieve invoice via get_invoices.rb (invoice numbers) then use the "hound" flag if need be for extra hound assurance, for an email the next day at the same time, you could even set a cron job for this, but for the sake of time you could do: get_invoices.rb -h (invoice numbers).
Features
-
The "hound flag" which can simply be used by adding "-h" in the command when running the ruby script. For 100% next day hound assurance.
-
Ratelimiting -- We don't want to SPAM these people, but we do want to get paid! You can do this by using the ratelimit flag which is "-r".
Upcoming Features
- In version 2.0 there will be an autodialer that will call the company in question and just say the amount owed in a computer generated voice using Loop, or something like TTSAutomate.
AutoHound is a program written by Montana Mendy, to make sure you get paid on time.
