Record travel charges from Gmail in Brex
Travel confirmations and receipts arrive at inconvenient times. Let Notis capture expense details from relevant emails for your review.
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
Travel spending details are scattered across booking and receipt emails, making expense follow-up harder.
- Capture travel expense details while the email is easy to find.
- Reduce manual copying after a trip.
- Get a report when a message lacks information.
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 name it for travel expenses.
- 3Tell Notis to create a Brex expense only from received travel emails that include a charge or receipt, using details present and reporting gaps.
- 4Pick New Gmail Message Received as the trigger, choose a report channel, and test with one real travel receipt.
Questions about this workflow
Will every booking confirmation become an expense?
Specify that Notis should create an expense only when the email includes a charge or receipt, rather than a booking with no charge details.
What if the email shows a total but not other details?
Tell Notis to use only available details and note missing information in the run report.
