What it does

Automates the front door of warranty tracking. When a receipt or warranty PDF lands in a shared inbox, it parses out the asset name, purchase date, vendor, and warranty term, then creates a clean register entry — and immediately flags purchases of assets that are replacements for already-end-of-life units.

When to use it

Use it when warranty data arrives as emailed receipts and someone is hand-keying it into a tracker. Ideal for procurement and finance teams onboarding new equipment at volume.

How it works

  1. 1An inbound email trigger fires when a message arrives in the warranty intake mailbox.
  2. 2An OpenAI extraction step reads the email body and attachment text and returns structured asset, vendor, purchase date, and warranty length.
  3. 3A logic step computes the warranty-end date and checks whether the asset class already has a unit past useful life.
  4. 4Create the asset row in Airtable with all parsed fields and a computed expiry date.
  5. 5If an end-of-life duplicate exists, post a disposal-review note to Slack tagging the asset owner.
