What it solves

Invoice data entry is repetitive and error-prone. This workflow turns uploaded or emailed invoices into structured rows, then alerts the right person when totals or vendors need review.

Core workflow

Trigger from email or file upload, extract invoice fields, normalize vendor names, validate totals, append a row in Google Sheets, and send a Slack approval message.

What a paid version should include

The download should include the n8n export, a sample invoice, mapping instructions, a Google Sheets template, and a short checklist for testing extraction quality.
