Extract Expenses from Emails to Google Sheets

Automates extraction of expense data from email receipts using Mindee OCR and updates Google Sheets for easy tracking.

It filters emails using regex on the subject line, then processes the first attachment via Mindee's Receipt API to extract key details like date, description, category, currency, and amount using OCR technology. Extracted data is formatted and appended to a Google Sheets spreadsheet, eliminating manual data entry. Benefits include significant time savings for accountants,
