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.
