Forward a Receipt. It Shows Up Ready for Review.

Send a receipt or invoice to your dedicated ClarionOps inbox. We confirm who sent it, extract the data, and route it into the same approval workflow as anything uploaded directly.

The manual process breaking your workflow

Manual document processing creates bottlenecks at every stage of the accounting workflow.

Receipts forwarded by email get manually reviewed and re-entered one at a time.

An inbox isn't a workflow — there's no status tracking and no audit trail.

Data from an emailed receipt still has to be re-keyed into accounting software after someone reads it.

Forwarded emails with attachments buried inside other forwarded emails often get missed entirely.

There's no approval layer — items go straight from inbox to manual entry with no controls.

ClarionOps eliminates all of this — one workflow from submission to accounting sync, with approval controls at every step.

How the inbox actually works

Every tenant gets a dedicated inbound email address. When a receipt lands, ClarionOps checks it for spam and viruses, confirms the sender is a known member of your team, and pulls attachments out of the message — including ones buried inside a forwarded email — before running them through the same extraction and approval pipeline as a manual upload.

  • Spam and virus checked before anything is processed
  • Sender is verified against your team before the document is accepted
  • Finds attachments even inside forwarded messages

What changes when you automate

The same work — done by the workflow, not by hand.

Before
After

Emailed receipts needing manual action

Automatic ingestion and structured data extraction

Manual re-keying from email attachments

Extracted and mapped data ready for review

No visibility into processing status

The same status-tracked pipeline as a manual upload

No link between the email and the accounting entry

Original email and attachment linked to the final posted entry

The full workflow, automated

Every submission moves through the same pipeline — from submission to accounting sync.

01

Submit

Upload a photo, forward an emailed invoice, or enter your own — like hours worked.

02

Extract

If it’s an image, structured data is pulled automatically — vendor, dates, amounts, line items.

03

Approve

A project manager may review first. Accounting always reviews before anything moves forward.

04

Map & Sync

Once approved, entries map to your QuickBooks vendors and accounts and sync directly.

Control built into every step

Automation does not remove control — it enforces it.

Role-Based Approvals

Define who reviews what. Only authorized approvers can advance entries through the workflow.

Full Audit Logs

Every document, mapping decision, approval, and rejection is logged with timestamp and user.

Controlled Posting

Nothing reaches your accounting system without passing through the defined approval workflow.

Review Before Approval

Approvers see the full submitted document — vendor, amounts, line items — before signing off. Mapping to QuickBooks happens as its own step, after approval.

Connects to your accounting system

The workflow layer sits between your documents and your accounting system. Approved entries sync automatically.

QuickBooks Online

Bills, purchases, and vendor credits sync directly. Vendor and account mapping resolves against your actual QuickBooks data.

Built to Extend

The mapping and approval workflow is designed to connect to additional accounting platforms. QuickBooks Online is available today.

Approval Before Sync

Nothing posts to your accounting system without explicit approval. The integration layer enforces the approval workflow as a gate.

Who this workflow serves

Built for teams where document volume is real and bookkeeping bandwidth is limited.

Email-First Teams

Organizations where receipts and vendor documents mostly arrive by email and need an automated path into the workflow.

Remote and Distributed Teams

Teams where employees and vendors send documents by email with no centralized upload process.

Client Services Businesses

Professional services firms receiving billable expense receipts by email who need them approved and posted without manual re-entry.
