I will build a custom n8n workflow to automate invoice extraction and approval


About this gig
Stop manually copying invoice data from your inbox into spreadsheets.
I build a fully automated, AI powered invoice processing pipeline in n8n that:
- Watches your Gmail inbox for new invoices with PDF attachments
- Extracts text and pulls out invoice number, vendor, date, due date, and amount using AI (Google Gemini)
- Uploads the original PDF to Google Drive and generates a shareable link
- Checks for duplicate invoices automatically, so there are no double payments
- Logs everything neatly into Google Sheets
- Notifies your finance team on Slack instantly
- Automatically routes invoices over 1000 dollars to a manager for approval
- Logs any failures separately so nothing silently breaks or gets lost
This is not a fragile demo. It is built with real error handling at every step, including PDF extraction, file upload, and AI parsing, so a bad file or a flaky API call does not take down your whole pipeline.
Perfect for small businesses, agencies, bookkeepers, and finance teams drowning in manual invoice entry.
Every workflow is built on n8n so you fully own it. No lock in, and no recurring platform fees beyond your own n8n instance.
