■Overview
Creating and emailing an invoice every time a payment is processed through Square can be time-consuming. Manual processes are also prone to issues such as errors when entering billing information and missed emails. With this workflow, a successful Square payment triggers everything from automatically creating an invoice using a Microsoft Excel template to sending it via Gmail, helping you resolve these challenges smoothly from start to finish.
■Who Is This Template For?
- Accounting professionals who use Square and manually create invoices in Microsoft Excel for each payment
- Anyone overwhelmed by routine tasks from invoice creation through email delivery and unable to focus on other work
- Anyone looking to reduce manual invoice-related errors and improve operational accuracy
■Benefits of Using This Template
- Automate invoice creation and email delivery after a payment is processed through Square, reducing the time spent on manual work.
- Prevent human errors such as incorrect billing information transfers and email recipient settings, improving operational reliability.
■Workflow
- First, connect Square, Microsoft Excel, and Gmail to Yoom.
- Next, select Square as the trigger and set the action to “When a payment succeeds (Webhook).”
- Then, set the Microsoft Excel “Issue a document” action as an operation to create an invoice based on the specified template file and payment information from Square.
- Finally, set the Gmail “Send an email” action as an operation, attach the created invoice file, and send the email to the specified recipient.
※ “Trigger”: An action that starts the workflow. “Operation”: An action that performs processing within the workflow after the trigger starts.
■Customization Options
- In the Square trigger settings, set the interval for retrieving payment data that starts the workflow.
- In the Microsoft Excel operation settings, specify the file to use as the invoice template, and use payment information from Square (output) to dynamically set the file name and specific text strings in the document created with Microsoft Excel.
- In the Gmail operation settings, enter the recipient's email address, subject, and body as fixed values, or set them dynamically using output from Square or Microsoft Excel.
■Notes
- Connect both Square and Microsoft Excel to Yoom.
- Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) offers plans for home use and plans for businesses (Microsoft 365 Business). Authentication may fail if you are not subscribed to a business plan.
- With the “Issue a document” action, you can specify any OneDrive storage location.
