1.Detects new attachment in labeled messages
Integrate Gmail and email tools to watch for new attachments and extract invoice metadata to standardize intake.
Add freelance invoice attachments to tracker and folder
Automatically capture new attachment messages in Gmail with your label across Google Drive and Google Sheets. Create and update when attachments land, filenames normalize, or tracker rows set to Pending—so you can upload files, standardize filenames, and track invoices without manual paperwork.
How this automation protects your invoice workflow
When invoice attachments arrive scattered in your inbox, delays can stall approval and payment timing. This automation captures Gmail attachments, uploads files to Drive, and creates Pending tracker rows—so your team can triage faster without chasing messages.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism — I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
Rishi Shah, CEO and Co-Founder
We don't just want to patch holes; we want to build scalable, future-proof systems. Zapier is helping us do that.
