Problem

Finance teams learn about failed customer charges only when someone checks the payment provider or an invoice goes overdue. They then look up the customer in the CRM, note the amount and failure reason, and alert the right people by hand. Failed charges sit unnoticed, and recoverable revenue drifts toward churn before anyone acts.

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.
