Set up recurring bills
Automate the bills that repeat — rent, subscriptions, retainers — and Papertools drafts each one on schedule for you to review.
Automation
For costs that repeat on a schedule — rent, software subscriptions, a retainer you pay — set up a recurring bill once and let Papertools raise each one for you. It's under Automation → Recurring Bills.
Create a schedule
- Open Automation → Recurring Bills and choose New.
- Pick the vendor and add the line items, just like a normal bill.
- Set the cadence:
- Frequency — weekly, monthly, quarterly, and so on.
- Start date — when the first one is raised.
- Ends — never, on a set date, or after a number of bills.
- Save.
Each one is a draft to review
Unlike recurring invoices, recurring bills don't send themselves — each new bill lands as a draft for you to check before it counts. That's deliberate: it's money going out, so you get the final say. Review it, adjust if needed, then save and pay it as usual.
Recurring bills need the Bills module on (Settings → Features), plus the vendor they're from.
