Turn Invoices Into Data, Not Spreadsheets
Invoices land in your inbox constantly. Instead of manually copying line items and amounts, Notis extracts all invoice data into Affinda the moment you mark it in Linear.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Action
Create Document
Tool to upload a new document for parsing. use when you have the document file or a public url and need to extract structured data immediately.
Why this helps
Invoice processing is tedious manual work: download the PDF, look at each line, type amounts and dates into your system, double-check, repeat. You're error-prone and exhausted, and your accounting team waits around for data entry.
- Stop manually copying invoice line items and amounts
- Extract all financial data with zero errors
- Reduce invoice processing time from 10 minutes to 30 seconds per invoice
- Speed up payment approvals
- Create an auditable record in Affinda automatically
- Give your accounting team data, not paperwork
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Affinda to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When an issue status changes to invoice-received, automatically parse the attached invoice in Affinda and extract vendor name, amount, due date, and line items.'
- 3Set the trigger to 'Issue Updated'.
- 4Assign a notification channel to alert your accounting team when invoices are ready.
- 5Test with a sample invoice by updating an issue status in Linear.
Questions about this workflow
What invoices can be parsed?
Any PDF or image invoice works. Multi-page invoices are supported. Affinda extracts totals, dates, vendor info, and line-by-line details automatically.
What if the invoice has a strange format?
Affinda extracts what it can recognize. Unusual formats may need minor manual correction in Affinda, but the bulk of data is captured automatically.
Can I extract only specific fields?
Absolutely. Tell Notis: 'Extract only vendor name, invoice number, total amount, and due date' if you only need those fields.
Does this work with recurring vendors?
Yes, and Affinda learns vendor patterns over time. Recurring vendors will have faster and more accurate extractions as the system sees more invoices from them.
