AI Invoice Intake, Validation & Approval Workflow

AI Invoice Intake, Validation & Approval Workflow: The workflow in n8n
The workflow in n8n

The client’s problem

Invoices took 2 to 3 days to process, every field was typed in by hand, and approvals were tracked in scattered places.

What I built

Engineered a fully automated accounts payable workflow that extracts invoice data from PDFs, images, and emails using GPT-4o vision AI, validates records, and routes approvals dynamically through Slack.

The outcome

Streamlined the invoice approval lifecycle with AI-powered extraction, automated escalation handling, and centralized financial visibility.

Before and after

  • Invoice processing speed
