Create a coda document
Lets start with creating a simple coda document, no magic here.
Create a table for your invoices
Next - we need to create a table that will hold all of our invoices, things to think about here:
Bonus exercise
Check out the coda views and think about the ways you could use them here Create a scenario in make
About gmail “+” trick - in real life scenario there most likely there would be a designated email address only for invoices (for example invoices@my-company.com).
But since we are using our own email addresses for the sake of exercise we need to find a way on how to work with them. One of the ways is by using gmail “+” trick (read more about it here ).
In the exercise we will use your email address but with the + added, so if your email is littlebunny@gmail.com we are going to use littlebunny+workshop@gmail.com
Our scenario do the following:
Wait for new messages in aaa+workshop@gmail.com Extract the text & attachments if present Add new row in the coda table Understand what is missing
Is everything finished?
Automate yourself
What can we add here so that in a month you wont spend time trying to remember redundant information?
