About This Automation

Building inspection companies manually extract data from inspection reports, create invoices in accounting software, and track payments through email and spreadsheets. This fragmented process causes delays, data entry errors, and inconsistent payment follow-up.

Automation reads inspection reports automatically, creates invoices in real time, monitors incoming payments, and sends reminders for overdue accounts. Invoices reach clients the same day inspections complete, and payment reconciliation happens continuously.

Key features
Extract invoice data automatically from inspection reports in any format
Create and send invoices to clients within minutes of report submission
Monitor incoming payments and match them to invoices in real time
Send payment reminders automatically when invoices become overdue
Reconcile payments and update accounting records without manual intervention
Maintain client payment history and notes for future reference

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Inspection Report Submittedtrigger

A completed inspection report arrives via email or is flagged in the shared folder. The automation detects the trigger and begins processing.

2. Extract Data from Report

The automation reads the inspection report, identifies client name, property address, scope, and cost, and structures the data for downstream use.

3. Create Invoice in QuickBooks

The extracted data is used to automatically create a new invoice with all required fields populated.

4. Send Invoice via Email

The invoice is automatically sent to the client email address with a professional message and PDF attachment.

5. Monitor Payment Status

The automation checks and the bank feed daily to detect incoming payments and automatically matches them to the invoice.

6. Send Payment Reminder

If payment is not received by the due date, an automated reminder email is sent to the client.

7. Reconcile Payment in QuickBooks

When payment is detected, the invoice is automatically marked as paid and the client record is updated.

8. Update Client Record

Payment status and transaction details are automatically logged for future reference and reporting.
