◼️Overview
When you receive an email with an attached invoice, the AI automatically reads the invoice content and registers the billing information in freee accounting based on it.
You no longer need to open the email, download the file, or manually enter the information into freee.
Additionally, by including a person in charge for checks midway, more accurate invoice information linkage is possible.
