Invoices arrive. They process themselves.

Every invoice that arrives in email triggers the same sequence: forward to finance, create an approval task, log the vendor and amount, archive the original. this+that does all of it automatically, the moment the email arrives.

Invoice processing is manual, repetitive, and error-prone

Manual forwarding chains

Every invoice gets manually forwarded to finance, with a note, with context. Multiply that by every vendor and every billing cycle. It's a significant time tax on whoever handles it.

Approval bottlenecks

High-value invoices need CFO approval. The email arrives, someone remembers to create a task, the CFO sees it eventually. The vendor is waiting.

No paper trail

Which invoices were received this month? Which are approved? Which are outstanding? The answer is "somewhere in email" — which means it's nowhere actionable.

Archiving is an afterthought

The original invoice email lives in a general inbox. When auditors ask for records, someone spends a morning searching threads instead of pressing export.

One workflow, every invoice — automatically

Auto-forward to finance

Invoice emails are identified and routed to the finance team automatically — with the original attached and the key details extracted.

Approval tasks for high-value invoices

Invoices above a threshold create an approval task assigned to the CFO. The approver gets context; the vendor doesn't wait for someone to remember.

Vendor and amount logged automatically

Vendor name, invoice amount, and due date are extracted from the email and logged to a shared spreadsheet or HubSpot — no manual data entry.

Archived to the right folder

After processing, the original invoice email is archived to the finance folder in Dropbox or Drive. Audit-ready without any manual filing.

The invoice workflows you can set up in plain English

These are the kinds of workflows you can describe to this+that and have running in minutes.

"When an invoice email arrives, forward to finance@, archive to the invoices folder in Dropbox, and log vendor and amount to the billing spreadsheet"
"Route invoices over $5,000 to the CFO for approval and create a task with a 48-hour deadline"
"Extract vendor name, invoice number, and amount from invoice emails and log to HubSpot"
"If an invoice hasn't been acknowledged in 72 hours, escalate to the finance lead"
"Every first of the month, send finance a digest of all invoices received in the prior month"
"When an invoice approval is completed, notify the requester and update the task status"
