How It Works
The Expense Tracker App workflow begins with a Typeform trigger that captures initial expense submission. When a new entry is received, the workflow uses an HTTP request to validate the submission. Mindee's AI-powered document processing node extracts critical receipt details, converting unstructured data into structured information. A set node standardizes the extracted data, which is then securely transferred to Airtable for comprehensive record-keeping. Built-in error handling ensures data integrity and provides clear tracking of any processing issues.
