Make.com: Receipt to Bookkeeping Entry

Difficulty: Intermediate | Time to implement: 30 min | Saves you: ~3 hrs/week Tools: Make.com + ChatGPT (OpenAI vision)

This template gives you a Make.com scenario that watches for receipts arriving by email or dropped into a phone-synced folder, reads them with AI vision, categorizes each one against your own chart of accounts, and appends a clean bookkeeping row — with the receipt image archived and linked. Built for owners who currently do this in a single miserable session at month end, or worse, hand a bag of paper to a bookkeeper who charges by the hour to type it in.

The difference between this and Receipt and Document Data Extraction (Vision) is running versus batching. That template is the manual version: you photograph a stack, paste a prompt, and get a table back — excellent for clearing a backlog. This one removes the stack from existing at all. Nothing accumulates, because each receipt is processed within a minute of arriving.
