- 5Test by sharing a sample receipt image in a Linear comment.
Questions about this workflow
What receipt formats work?
Photos, scans, PDFs, and digital receipts all work. Clear images with readable text are best, but Affinda handles blurry photos too.
Does this capture tax amounts?
Yes. Affinda extracts subtotal, tax amount, and total so your accounting team has everything needed for expense reports and tax deductions.
Can I categorize expenses automatically?
Yes. Tell Notis your expense categories: travel, meals, office supplies, software, etc. Notis will categorize based on merchant and description.
Can employees submit receipts multiple ways?
This automation works with Linear comments. You can also set up workflows for email submissions or integrate other tools if needed.
