Introduction

Automating payment collection tracking saves time, reduces errors, and keeps records accurate. This template matches incoming customer payments to invoices in Google Sheets for smooth, real-time updates.

How this template works

1. A Finance Agent opens and reads the uploaded customer payment confirmation.
2. The agent extracts key details such as payment amount and customer name.
3. The agent matches the payment to the correct invoice in a shared tracker, updates the payment status and date, and saves the confirmation file to a shared folder.
