The Invoice workflow automates how we handle customer invoices. Whenever a new invoice email arrives, the system checks the attachment type, reads its content using OCR or PDF text extraction, then parses important details like invoice number, due date, and amount. These details are saved automatically into our Google Sheet and the file is stored in Google Drive. Finally, an email reminder is sent to the customer confirming their invoice and due date — all without any manual effort. 🧾 Invoice Workflow Summary Goal: Automatically read invoices from Gmail, extract key details, save them to Google Sheets and Drive, and notify the customer.
