Collect missing receipts for card transactions

Add expense receipt tracking to your credit card reconciliation process by finding card transactions without receipts, sending receipt reminders to cardholders, escalating overdue items to managers, and sharing an open items summary with finance before close.

Useful for
Finance and accounting teams closing the books each month, controllers responsible for audit ready records, and the employees and managers who hold corporate cards.

Copied

Every morning, the automation pulls card transactions from [corporate card or expense management platform] that have passed [receipt deadline, e.g. number of days after posting] without a receipt attached. It messages each cardholder via [employee messaging channel, e.g. chat platform, email] with the merchant, amount, and date of every open transaction and a link to upload the receipt in [corporate card or expense management platform]. Transactions still missing a receipt after [escalation deadline] go to the cardholder's manager, looked up in [employee directory or HR system], via [employee messaging channel], and the finance team receives a summary of all open items via [finance team channel, e.g. chat channel, email].

Problem

Finance teams spend the days before month end close checking which corporate card transactions still lack receipts and chasing each cardholder by email or chat. Employees ignore or forget the reminders, so the books stay open, transactions without receipts cannot be coded or audited, and recoverable tax on those purchases is lost.

Solution

Every morning, the automation pulls card transactions from the corporate card platform that have passed the receipt deadline without a receipt attached. It messages each cardholder with the merchant, amount, and date of every open transaction and a link to upload the receipt. Transactions still missing a receipt after the escalation deadline go to the cardholder's manager, found in the employee directory, and the finance team receives a summary of all open items.

Route vendor spend requests to approvers

When an employee submits a vendor spend request through an intake form, the automation reads the request type, requesting department, and amount, then matches that combination against a routing rules table to resolve the correct approver. It creates a request record in the approval tracker, assigns it to that approver, and sets its status to awaiting approval. The assigned approver is notified with the request details and a link to the record so they can set the decision.

Extract invoice data from email attachments

When an invoice arrives in the finance inbox, an AI agent interprets the attached document, identifies which fields are relevant based on the format and content it encounters, and extracts the values that matter for the team's records, such as vendor name, line items, totals, and due dates. It records the structured data in a central sheet.

Extract receipt data from email attachments

When an email in the inbox is labeled as a receipt, an AI agent fetches its attachments, works out which one is the receipt document, and reads it to extract the vendor, the items purchased, and their prices. It logs these details to the expense sheet along with the email's message ID, sender, and date, giving the team an organized record of every expense without manual data entry.
