Dunning Strategy

Run Revenue Operations Collect & Recover High-signal capability Updated July 2026

Dunning Strategy — Defines the sequenced response to a failed payment or overdue invoice — when to retry, when to email, when to suspend. It triggers off payment-gateway failures, hands sends to the communication engine, and escalates stubborn balances toward AR automation or collections.

Where it sits in the lifecycle

Dunning Strategy lives in the Collect & Recover phase of Run Revenue Operations — the stage where you collect the cash, close the books, keep customers healthy. In the corpus tool index this phase maps to the Payments and Billingcategories.
