How to integrate Airtable with NP Kakebarai to automatically send invoices based on Airtable data

a.ohta

This time, we will introduce how to integrate Airtable and NP Kakebarai.
When the timing of contracts or transactions with companies varies, you may find yourself intermittently creating and sending documents as part of your workflow.
If the number of documents to send is small, it may not be a problem, but if there are many, it can become a considerable workload, right?
That's why we recommend introducing automation. If you are using NP Kakebarai for post-payment and consolidating customer data in Airtable, try integrating these two apps.
To help you understand the benefits of this integration, let's first introduce two advantages!

Benefits of Integrating Airtable and NP Kakebarai

Benefit 1: Reduce Workload

With this integration, invoices will be automatically sent when the status in Airtable changes. The flow of sending invoices each time is automated, which is expected to improve operational efficiency.
By reducing the number of steps, it also helps to lighten the workload. Isn't it an effective way to improve the working environment for employees?

Benefit 2: Save Time

Since invoices are created based on customer data stored in Airtable, human errors are reduced compared to manually creating and sending invoices, making it easier to maintain accuracy.
As long as you ensure there are no errors in the Airtable data, you should be able to create accurate invoices.
This eliminates the need to spend time creating invoices, leading to time savings.

The person who wrote this article
a.ohta
After working as a general store manager, I started working from home as an SEO writer. Later, an outsourcing agreement was signed with a marketing startup for about 5 years. Surrounded by students at the University of Tokyo, I held a computer and spent my days studying various business terms and how to use SaaS tools. When I was a general store manager, time was taken over and over again by office work such as sales and inventory management, human resource management, and ordering, etc., and I was unable to serve customers and often missed sales times. Even when outsourcing, there are many detailed tasks such as input, etc., and “can't such monotonous tasks be automated?” I thought so, and I really sympathize with Yoom's vision!

What is Yoom hyperautomation?
Conventional RPA can only automate simple repetitive tasks, and the setup process was very complicated.
With “hyperautomation,” which combines various technologies such as AI, API, RPA, and OCR, it is possible to automate many tasks that could not be realized until now more easily than before.
Don't Just Connect Apps—Automate Everything
Most tools simply connect one app to another, leaving the complex tasks to you. Yoom goes much further: From document creation and browser automation to OCR and generative AI, Yoom handles it all seamlessly in one platform.

Why settle for basic integrations? Streamline your entire workflow with Yoom’s powerful hyperautomation.
