Gmail

Receive expense receipts via email

Set up a dedicated expense email address where employees forward receipt photos. Configure Gmail filters to automatically organize these emails and trigger the next workflow step.

Log expenses and validate against policy

Automatically populate a Google Sheets expense tracker with extracted data. Set up formulas to validate expenses against company policy limits, approved vendors, and spending categories.

Stripe Link

Process approved reimbursements

Set up Stripe Link to automatically process reimbursement payments for AI-approved expenses under $200. Configure approval workflows for larger amounts while allowing instant payouts for policy-compliant small expenses.
