Trigger

Why this helps
Month-end review gets slower when expense details need to be re-collected from individual documents.
- Collect extracted expense details in one summary.
- Reduce manual transcription during month-end review.
- Keep the supporting summary in Drive for follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Google Drive once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create a new automation and name it for expense document summaries.
- 3Tell Notis to process the expense documents supplied for the review and create a concise Google Drive summary of extracted details, marking unclear values.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real expense document and compare its values with the summary.
Questions about this workflow
Can this calculate totals across all expenses?
Ask for calculations only when the extracted data returned supports them, and verify totals against the source documents.
Does this replace bookkeeping software?
No. It creates a summary file to support review; it does not update accounting records.
