Create Brex expenses from emailed receipts
Receipts arrive in email. Notis can turn each relevant one into a Brex expense so it is easier to keep spending records current.
Trigger
New Gmail Message Received Trigger
Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.
Action
Create Expense
Create a new expense.
Why this helps
Receipts get buried in the inbox, then take time to find again when expenses need attention.
- Reduce manual re-entry of receipt details.
- Keep emailed receipts moving into expense records.
- See a run report when information needs review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Gmail and Brex once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Brex expense when a received email includes a receipt, using only details present and reporting missing information.
- 4Pick New Gmail Message Received as the trigger, choose a report channel, and test with one real receipt email.
