This article explains how to view and monitor the upcoming automated payment batch, including who will be paid, projected amounts, payment readiness, and the Automated Payment Schedule drawer.

## Accessing the Automated Payments Tab

1. Go to **Payments** in the left navigation
2. Click the **Unsent Payments** tab
3. Select the **Automated** tab

This tab shows all ambassadors who are eligible for the next automated payment batch.

## What You'll See

### Ambassador List

The Automated tab displays ambassadors enrolled in automated payment programs with approved, unpaid commissions. For each ambassador, you can see:

- **Name** and contact information
- **Total amount** owed (sum of all unpaid approved commissions)
- **Number of rewards** included
- **Program** associated with the commissions
- **Payment readiness** — whether the ambassador has set up their wallet

### Stats Bar

At the top of the list, a summary bar shows:

- **Total payees** — number of ambassadors who will be paid
- **Total owed** — sum of all payments in this batch

### Minimum Payment Amount Exclusions

If you've configured a [Getting started with automated payments](docId\:kxkTbRhvkt85lgCgCosWF), ambassadors below the minimum are **hidden from this tab entirely**. The payee count and total owed reflect only ambassadors who meet or exceed the minimum.

After the batch has been pre-calculated, a blue info callout appears:

:::BlockQuote
"X ambassadors ($Y.YY) below $Z.ZZ minimum are excluded from this batch. Their commissions will roll over to the next payment batch."
:::

This callout only appears after pre-calculation runs (roughly 18 business days before payment). Before that point, below-minimum ambassadors are still filtered out of the tab, but no count is shown.

## Filtering the List

Use filters to focus on specific ambassadors:

- **Enrolled program** — Filter by specific programs enrolled in automated payments
- **Payment readiness** — Filter by "Ready" (wallet set up) or "Setup Required" (no wallet)
- **Contact tags** — Filter by ambassador tags or segments

## Payment Readiness

Each ambassador has a payment readiness status:

| Status             | Meaning                                                                      |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Ready**          | Ambassador has set up their Dots payment wallet and will receive the payment |
| **Setup Required** | Ambassador hasn't configured their wallet yet and will be skipped            |

**Tip:** Filter by "Setup Required" as the payment date approaches to identify ambassadors who need reminders.

## Sending Manual Reminders

You can manually send wallet setup emails or payment-ready emails to ambassadors:

1. Select ambassadors using the checkboxes
2. Click **Actions**
3. Choose **Send Payment Info Request** to send wallet setup reminders

These manual sends are in addition to the automatic reminder schedule (26, 20, 14, 8, 3 days before payment).

## Automated Payment Schedule Drawer

For a detailed view of the upcoming batch, click **More Details** to open the Automated Payment Schedule drawer.

### Upcoming Payment Section

The drawer shows:

- **Payment date** — The date payments will be sent (first Tuesday of the month)
- **Commission cutoff** — The last date commissions are included
- **Enrolled programs** — Which programs are part of this batch
- **Total payees** — Number of ambassadors who will be paid, with breakdown:
  - "(X below minimum)" if a minimum payment amount is configured
  - "Y ambassadors without wallet setup" shown separately
- **Total payment amount** — Projected sum of all payments
- **ACH transfer status** — Current status of the funding transfer (Scheduled, Processing, Completed, Failed, Skipped)
- **ACH transfer amount** — Amount being pulled from your bank account
- **Pre-transfer wallet balance** — What was in your wallet before the ACH transfer
- **Current wallet balance** — What's in your wallet now

### Previous Payment Section

Below the upcoming payment, the drawer also shows details from the most recent completed batch:

- Payment date and amounts
- Number of ambassadors paid
- ACH transfer details
- If the previous batch had a minimum payment amount, the excluded count is shown

### Projected vs. Actual Amounts

The amounts shown in the drawer are **projections** until the batch actually runs:

- **Before pre-calculation:** Estimates based on current commission data
- **After pre-calculation:** More accurate projections that account for the minimum payment amount and wallet setup status
- **After payment:** Final actual amounts

The drawer uses a skeleton loading state while data loads, rather than showing $0 placeholders.

## Batch Processing Banner

While a payment batch is actively processing, a blue banner appears on the Automated Payments tab:

:::BlockQuote
"Payment batch is currently processing..."
:::

This replaces the normal ambassador list during processing. Once complete, the page updates to show the results.

## What's Not on This Tab

- **Below-minimum ambassadors** — Hidden from the tab entirely (they remain classified as automated-payment ambassadors and do NOT appear on the Manual tab)
- **Ambassadors with $0 or negative balances** — Excluded from payment batches
- **Ambassadors in unenrolled programs** — Not shown on the Automated tab
