Slack receipt upload to Notion reimbursement tracker
Lets employees submit a receipt by uploading it in a Slack channel, parses it with OpenAI, and creates a tracked reimbursement entry in a Notion database with a status field.

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

What it does
Makes Slack the front door for expense submissions. When someone uploads a receipt image to the designated channel, the workflow reads it with OpenAI, captures the merchant, amount, and date, and creates a reimbursement record in a Notion database that finance can work through.
When to use it
Use this when your team already lives in Slack and you want zero-friction submission with a structured Notion backlog for finance to review and mark paid. Good for distributed teams without a formal expense tool.
How it works
- 1A file is uploaded to the expenses Slack channel, triggering the workflow.
- 2The workflow retrieves the uploaded receipt file from Slack.
- 3OpenAI vision extracts vendor, total, currency, and date from the receipt.
- 4A new page is created in the Notion reimbursement database with the parsed fields, the submitter, and a status of Pending.
- 5A threaded Slack reply confirms the submission and links to the new Notion entry.
