Daily cash flow sheet from emailed bills
A scheduled task reads the office inbox each morning and adds every bill and payment notice to the cash flow sheet as an expected entry. After the day's bank statement lands it marks what was paid and flags what does not match. A person still approves and makes every payment.
What it does
- Reads bills, invoices and credit notices from the inbox at 8am
- Adds each one to a list tab with amount and due date as expected
- Compares the day's bank statement against the expected entries
- Marks matched lines as paid and lists the differences for review
Your approval boundaries
Approval requiredThese actions always wait for your yes:
- Paying any bill
- Clearing a flagged difference
You decide what happens next.
More about this workflow
This setup is for operators and managers who keep the busywork moving. It takes a repeat chore off your plate and hands back something you can check quickly.
First, it reads bills, invoices and credit notices from the inbox at 8am. Next, it adds each one to a list tab with amount and due date as expected. Then it compares the day's bank statement against the expected entries. Finally, it marks matched lines as paid and lists the differences for review. It works with your email, spreadsheets and bank export, each on its own login with limited access.
You get the prep work done and waiting for you. The agent stops and asks for your yes before paying any bill and clearing a flagged difference, and says plainly if a step cannot be undone.
“Pagamentos continuam aprovados e executados por uma pessoa.”

Steps
Do these in order. Test on old data before it touches live work.
- 1Connect Gmail with its own login, not yours. Grant read-only plus compose (drafts) scopes.
- 2Connect Google Sheets with its own login, not yours. Grant access to the single sheet it needs.
- 3Set up Bank export. Keep it to a file you export, never your bank login.
- 4Paste the prompt where your harness takes instructions. See the note under the Copy button.
- 5Do a dry run on old or test data first. Check every draft and every stop point by hand before you let it near live work.
- 6Read its log after the first real run. Only widen access once a week of runs looks clean.
Safeguards and trust score
The score describes this example setup’s access, approval boundaries, ability to undo changes, and scope.
Can draft things that send or spend, so it sits close to risky actions.
Waits for a yes on: paying any bill, clearing a flagged difference.
Leaves drafts you can throw away, with a record of what it made.
Runs on its own login across 3 tools. Fewer connections means a smaller blast radius.
How to raise it
- Access: Take away its ability to send, post or spend. Let it only write drafts, and have a person press send or pay from their own account +6
- Scope: Cut it down from 3 connected tools to the 2 it needs most, each with its own limited login instead of your full account +2
Do all of these to reach 89, up from 81.
