📬

Overdue invoices pile up fast

Australian SMEs carry an average of 23 overdue invoices at any given time. Chasing them by phone and email burns hours every week and still gets ignored.

📅

BAS deadlines sneak up on clients

Accountants and bookkeepers waste time reminding clients to reconcile before BAS lodgement. A simple SMS a week before the deadline saves everyone the scramble.

🔕

Payment emails go straight to junk

Invoice reminder emails are opened less than 25 per cent of the time. SMS messages are read within 3 minutes, 98 per cent of the time. The channel you use matters enormously.

Frequently asked questions

Can I send SMS directly from inside Xero?
Xero does not have a native SMS feature. MonsterSMS.ai connects to Xero via Zapier, which monitors your invoices and triggers SMS messages automatically based on rules you set. You manage everything from your MonsterSMS.ai dashboard, and Xero keeps doing what it does best.
How does Zapier connect Xero to Monster SMS?
Zapier acts as the bridge between the two platforms. You create a Zap that watches for a specific event in Xero (like an invoice becoming overdue) and then triggers an action in MonsterSMS.ai (sending a message to that contact). No code is required, and Zapier offers a free plan that covers most small business use cases.
Does Monster SMS work with MYOB as well?
Yes. MonsterSMS.ai connects to MYOB through the same Zapier workflow. If you use both Xero and MYOB across different entities, you can run separate integrations for each. See our MYOB integration page for details on setting that up.
Is this compliant with Australian spam laws?
Yes. MonsterSMS.ai is built for Australian compliance from the ground up. All messages sent through the platform include opt-out handling as required by the Spam Act 2003, and your data is hosted in Australia in line with the Privacy Act 1988. You can send transactional messages (like invoice reminders) without additional consent, provided the message relates to an existing business relationship.
Can I customise the timing of overdue reminders?
Absolutely. Through Zapier, you control exactly when a reminder fires. Set up delays so the first reminder goes out 3 days after the due date, a follow-up at 7 days, and a final notice at 14 days. Each message can have different wording and urgency to match the stage of the collection process.
