Wireframes an โInvoice + Inbox Managerโ โ poke holes in it ๐ฅถ
Just finished my first automation wireframe ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ฎโ๐จ๐ค
It's a mid-level workflow for day-to-day invoice ops
Showed it to my cousin (manages invoices all day) and they were impressed...
๐ Now I want the expert critiques before I lock v1 ๐ค
๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐ฒ๐ (๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ-๐๐ผ-๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ):
Pulls new docs from Drive/Gmail/CRM into an โunprocessedโ lane โ checks file access + basic dupe guard โ OCR if needed โ categorizes โ extracts key fields with an LLM โ writes to specific tabs/columns in Google Sheets โ moves the source file to a โprocessedโ archive โ sends a short Slack/Email summary with what changed
๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐น๐ฑ๐ ๐โ๐บ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐:
company, contact, date, category, invoice #, line items, amounts/tax/total, notes
๐ฆ๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ธ:
n8n, Google Drive/Gmail/Sheets, OCR (TBD), LLM (TBD), storage in Drive/Dropbox
๐๐ผ๐ฎ๐น:
fast, boring AF, reliable โ think sub-5s per doc, clean audit trail and minimal manual touch
(screenshot / wireframe is attached so you can see the flow at a glance)
Iโm not precious about any part of it; tell me where this gets brittle, where it slows down, or where Iโm being cute instead of robust ๐๐ซฃ
If youโve created something similar, Iโd love your โhereโs what we learned the hard wayโ notes haha
Drop your top improvements youโd make if this were going into production tomorrow ๐ฅ๐ (fist bump)
