Expense Capture and Policy Check
Starts when: A receipt or expense submission is created
Free plan · Outcome verification included · You approve every connection
How it runs
Six stages, from the moment it starts to the checks that keep running afterwards.
It starts
A receipt or expense submission is created
Awish plans it and asks for each app
The apps it needs are connected one at a time, with your permission, before anything runs.
It does the work
Exactly as the request below describes, across the connected apps.
It stops where a person should decide
Flag personal or ambiguous expenses and never fabricate a tax figure or a business purpose.
It verifies the outcome
After each run, Awish checks that every entry reached the books and matches its source.
It keeps monitoring
Failures, silent failures and connection health are watched on every plan; anomalies, root cause and recommendations on Business.
The request it runs
This is what opens in chat when you use the template. Change any part of it before anything connects.
“Build an automation for expense receipt capture and policy checking. Start it whenever a receipt or expense submission is created. It should extract the merchant, date, amount, tax and currency, suggest a category, convert the currency where needed, check policy and duplicates, request the missing data, route the exceptions and update the expense report. Connect it with Expensify, Gmail, Slack and Google Drive. Flag personal or ambiguous expenses and never fabricate a tax figure or a business purpose.”

Questions about this template
Can I change where it stops for approval?
Yes. Open the template in chat and say where you want it to stop. The plan updates before anything connects.
What if one of these apps is not connected yet?
Awish asks you to connect each app it needs, one at a time, before the workflow runs. You can decline any of them.
How does Awish know this workflow worked?
After each run it checks that every entry reached the books and matches its source, in the app where that should happen. If a run reports success but the result is missing, it flags a silent failure.
Run it on your own apps
It opens in chat with the request written. See the plan, approve each connection, and Awish verifies the outcome from the first run.
