  1. 1

    Step 1 — Watch the inbox

    Add the Gmail trigger filtered to messages with attachments and subjects like "invoice" or "receipt".

  2. 2

    Step 2 — Grab the attachment

    Enable "Download Attachments" so the PDF flows through as binary data ready to store.

  3. 3

    Step 3 — Pull the key details

    Add an OpenAI (or regex Code) node to extract vendor, amount and date from the email/PDF text for naming and logging.

  4. 4

    Step 4 — File it in Google Drive

    Add a Google Drive node to upload the file to a "Receipts/{{ year }}" folder, named {{ vendor }}-{{ date }}.pdf.

Frequently asked questions

What about invoices pasted in the email body, not attached?

Add a branch that detects no-attachment messages and either renders the body to PDF or extracts the figures straight from the text in Step 3.

Can it handle multiple currencies?

Yes — capture the currency in Step 3 alongside the amount so Google Drive records stay accurate for international vendors.
