Overview
New AI skill in my workflow: "Bill them for $ amount for (work performed, reimbursements, etc)" The system automatically configures up a invoice PDF and send it to my email.
Workflow
Suggested implementation: An agent generates invoice PDFs based on work performed or reimbursements and emails them to the user for review. The user approves or requests corrections via email reply, after which the agent sends the final invoice to the client. The user manually follows up with a PayPal money request using the invoice ID.
Reported result
The source does not report measured outcomes, efficiency gains, or error rates. It only describes the intended workflow steps. A measurable acceptance check would be verifying that 100% of generated PDFs contain correct client details and amounts before manual payment requests are sent.
Human role
The original post does not say how a person stayed involved.
Limitations
Prerequisites include a configured email integration and a template for invoice generation. The workflow relies on manual PayPal follow-up, introducing friction and potential for mismatched IDs. Source reliability is low as it is a single social media post without technical details or verification of the agent's stability.
Try it
Act as an invoice automation agent. I will provide [replaceable inputs: client name, service description, amount, and my email address]. First, generate a draft invoice PDF using these details. Email the PDF to me for review. Wait for my reply saying 'approve' or specific corrections. If corrections are needed, regenerate the PDF and resend. Once I approve, send the final invoice to [replaceable input: client email]. Do not send any payment links. After sending, output a summary with the invoice ID and client name so I can manually create a PayPal request. If any input is missing, ask me for it before proceeding. Perform a dry run with dummy data first and show me the output format before processing real client data.
