Prep reminder one week before a project is due
A project due date reminder automation covers when the reminder goes out and what the email says in the final week before delivery.
Share template
Projects tick along, and then the due date is a week away and the last checks need doing without a scramble in the inbox. The due date reminder automation triggers 7 days before the project due date and emails the contact on the project, so the client gets a heads-up while there's still time to react.
The three email steps move from “One week left” into Final check before it goes out, then asks the client to keep time free to review. The wording keeps the focus on what happens next and why the message is arriving now, instead of dropping a date with no context.
- Trigger The automation starts 7 days before the project due date.
- One week left The first email flags that the deadline is close while there’s still time to adjust.
- Final check before it goes out The second email prompts a last review pass before delivery.
- Ask them to keep time free to review The last email asks the client to hold time to look things over when the work lands.
Inside Plutio, you connect the automation to projects that already have a due date and an email address saved on them. From there, the reminder runs on its own, and the only thing you might tweak is the email text to match how you talk.
We went from spending hours on every proposal to creating fully customized ones in under 5 minutes. That's not an exaggeration - we timed it.
Every step, in order
Plutio runs these 3 steps top to bottom, from the trigger through each action and condition. Every one arrives configured and stays editable. The automation is added as a draft, so it sends nothing until you turn it on.

Questions about this automation template
How does a one-week project due date reminder work?
The automation triggers 7 days before a project’s due date. It sends a sequence of three emails to the email address saved on the project.
What do I need set up for the reminder to send?
The project needs a due date, and the project needs an email address to send to. Every step runs inside Plutio, so no third-party account is required.
Can the emails say different things across the week?
Yes, the automation uses three separate email steps. The steps cover “One week left”, a final check before delivery, and a request to keep time free to review.
What happens if a project doesn’t have a due date?
The trigger depends on a due date, so a project without one won’t meet the “7 days before due date” condition. Adding a due date is what makes the automation eligible to run.
Who gets the reminder email?
The email goes to the email address stored on the project. That keeps the reminder tied to the same contact the project is being delivered to.
Does the reminder rely on Gmail, Mailchimp, or another email service?
No, the template doesn’t require a third-party account. Every step runs inside Plutio.
