The conversation that built it

Vendors email invoices to a shared accounting inbox. The automation extracts the PDF attachment from each email. It checks if the vendor is already in the system. If known, it creates a bill in QuickBooks. If unknown, it flags the invoice for manual review. For bills over $5000 it routes to the controller for approval. Once approved or under the limit, the bill is archived in Google Drive.
