Send payment overdue notifications

Knox Guard devices that are overdue, but not necessarily delinquent, in their payment status can be sent both reminder notifications and escalated blinking reminders directly to the user device. Notification options can be customized with escalating severity as needed.

Select the checkbox of the notification best suited for this current payment notification.
