What this setup does
Notis reads and writes your Notion databases. With a dedicated Expenses database, Notis can:- Create an entry for each receipt photo you send, with merchant, date, amount, and payment method
- Update the entry with the client, project, category, and billable status you add by message
- Attach the original receipt image to the Notion entry
- Run a weekly review over the entries and link back to each Notion page
Step 1: Set up your Expenses database
The Notis Second Brain already contains an Expenses database set up for you.Step 2: Send receipts and add context
Send a photo of your receipt to Notis, then specify the client and project:This is for Acme Corp – Product Launch Offsite.
Mark this as billable.
Category is Meals & Entertainment.Notis saves the expense to your Notion Expenses database and updates the entry with the client, project, category, and billable status.
Automation: weekly expense review
The weekly “expenses to review” digest works on your Notion Expenses database: it finds entries from the last 14 days with missing or suspicious data and sends you a digest grouped by problem type. Each item in the digest includes a link to its Notion page, so you can fix it in one click.Troubleshooting
- Notis can’t find your expenses: Make sure the database is named “Expenses” and is connected to Notis.
- Entries land in the wrong database: Name the target database in your message, for example “my Expenses database in Notion”. See Database instructions.
