About This Automation

Budget and payment tracking for weddings involves manually receiving vendor quotes, entering them into spreadsheets, and reconciling payments across multiple systems. This fragmented approach creates delays in spotting budget overruns and reconciliation errors that compound monthly.

Automation extracts vendor quotes and payment data directly from email and payment systems, updates budget records in real time, and flags discrepancies before they become problems. The result is accurate budgets, faster payment processing, and immediate alerts when spending approaches limits.

Key features
Extract vendor quotes and payment details automatically from email and payment notifications
Update budget spreadsheets in real time as quotes and payments arrive
Flag budget overruns and spending alerts the moment thresholds are approached
Reconcile payments across payment systems and accounting records without manual cross-checking
Sync invoice and payment records to accounting software automatically
Notify the team of budget status changes and outstanding payments on schedule

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Vendor Quote or Payment Receivedtrigger

Automation watches for incoming vendor emails, payments, and manual spreadsheet updates. Triggers when a new quote, invoice, or payment is detected.

2. Extract Quote or Payment Data

The automation parses vendor email or webhook to extract vendor name, service, cost, and payment details. Classifies expense category automatically.

3. Update Budget

Automation writes vendor quote or payment to the correct event budget spreadsheet. Recalculates category subtotals and total budget in real time.

4. Budget Exceeded?

Automation checks if total budget now exceeds couple's limit. If yes, flags for review. If no, continues.

5. Syncing

Automation creates or updates invoice and payment records to match the spreadsheet. Ensures accounting records stay in sync.

6. Send Budget Alert

Automation posts a summary with updated budget, category breakdown, and any overruns. Includes link to full budget spreadsheet.

7. Send Payment Reminder if Overdue

If couple payment is overdue, automation sends a templated email reminder. Logs the reminder in the spreadsheet.
