Invoice Auto-Forward to Accounting
Automatically forward vendor invoices to accounting and log them in your expense tracker
Gmail integration that detects invoices (by PDF, keywords, and sender), forwards them to accounting email, and logs them in a spreadsheet. Streamline accounts payable.
Nora monitors your inbox for incoming invoices from vendors and service providers. When an invoice arrives (detected by keywords like 'invoice', 'bill', 'receipt', PDF attachment, or known vendor email addresses), Nora automatically forwards it to your accounting email address with a note summarizing the invoice: vendor name, amount, date, and invoice number. At the same time, Nora logs the invoice in a Google Sheet (expense tracker) with columns: Date, Vendor, Amount, Category, Invoice #, Status. You set rules for categorization—any invoice from Stripe → 'Payment Processing', from AWS → 'Cloud Hosting', from freelancers → 'Contract Labor'. This removes manual forwarding and data entry, so accountants get invoices on time and nothing gets lost in spam. Works especially well for companies with multiple team members or departments receiving vendor invoices. You can mark invoices as 'Paid' or 'Overdue' in the sheet, and Nora can even send overdue reminders to vendors if configured.
