Turn sent receipt emails into Breathe HR expenses

Capture reimbursable spending while the receipt and context are still in your sent mail.

Trigger

Email Sent

Triggers when a Gmail message is sent by the authenticated user. It polls the 'SENT' label and emits metadata including sender, recipients, subject, timestamp, and thread ID.

Action

Create Employee Expense

Tool to create an employee expense record in BreatheHR. Use when an employee needs to submit a new expense claim for reimbursement or record a company-paid expense.

Why this helps

  • Capture expenses promptly
  • Reduce lost receipts
  • Keep reimbursement records complete

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Super and Breathe HR in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation telling Notis to identify receipt details in sent messages and create the matching employee expense.
  • 3Pick the Email Sent trigger.
  • 4Choose a report channel and test with one real receipt email.

Questions about this workflow

Can Notis handle different receipt formats?

Yes, as long as the message contains enough readable information for the expense record.

What if the amount is unclear?

Ask Notis to report the message for review instead of creating an uncertain expense.
