Notify on New Emails with Invoices in Slack

This workflow automates invoice detection and processing by polling a Gmail inbox via IMAP for new emails. It checks if the email body contains the word 'invoice' (case-insensitive). If detected, it sends the first attachment to Mindee's invoice API to extract details like total amount using OCR technology.

Upon successful extraction, it posts a notification to a specified Slack channel alerting the team about a new invoice requiring payment. For high-value invoices exceeding $1000, it triggers an additional email to the finance manager, ensuring prompt attention to significant expenses.

Benefits include reduced manual email checking, automated data extraction to minimize errors, centralized team notifications via Slack, and escalated handling for large invoices. Ideal for sales, finance, or accounts payable teams in SMBs handling vendor invoices, improving cash flow management and operational efficiency.
