How This Automation Works
Invoice Generated → Invoice Uploaded to Portal
Invoice Completion Detected
The system monitors your plumbing management or accounting platform for newly finalized invoices. When an invoice is marked complete, all details including customer information, service descriptions, line items, and total amounts are captured automatically.
Customer Portal Mapping
Using the customer identifier, the system retrieves the associated portal configuration(s) from your customer database. This includes portal URLs, authentication credentials, required format specifications, and any custom field mappings needed for that specific portal.
Invoice Format Conversion
The invoice data is transformed into the format required by the destination portal, whether PDF with specific naming conventions, structured data files, or API payloads. All necessary metadata fields are populated according to each portal's specifications.
Portal Authentication
The system securely authenticates with the customer portal using stored credentials or API tokens. For portals requiring multi-factor authentication, the process handles this automatically using pre-configured authentication methods.
Document Upload and Submission
The formatted invoice is uploaded to the designated location within the customer portal, with all required metadata and categorization applied. The system follows the portal's specific submission workflow, including any approval routing or notification triggers.
Confirmation and Logging
Upload confirmation is received from the portal and logged in your system with timestamp and submission ID. Your team receives notification of successful upload, and the invoice record is updated with portal submission details for future reference and audit purposes.
How It Works
For plumbing businesses managing commercial accounts, property management clients, or multiple service contracts, uploading invoices to various customer portals is a time-consuming administrative burden. This automation solution captures completed invoices from your billing system and intelligently distributes them to the appropriate customer portals based on client requirements. Whether dealing with property management software, procurement platforms, or client-specific portals, the system handles authentication, file formatting, and upload confirmation automatically. The process ensures invoices reach the right destination immediately after job completion, accelerating approval workflows and reducing payment cycles. By eliminating manual portal logins and redundant data entry, your administrative team can focus on customer service while maintaining perfect accuracy across all platforms. The system maintains a complete audit trail of all uploads, tracks submission status, and provides instant notifications of any issues requiring attention.
The Trigger
The automation activates when a new invoice is finalized in your plumbing management or accounting system, capturing all invoice details including job information, line items, amounts, and customer identifiers to determine the correct portal destination.
The Action
The system automatically authenticates with the designated customer portal, converts the invoice to the required format, uploads the document with all necessary metadata, and confirms successful submission while logging the transaction for your records.
