I don't know if there is an easy way to do this and I just don't know it yet (feel free to enlighten me, people), but something that I need to do for my small biz that loads of other people also need to do is sort and organise invoices that I get from suppliers.
If there was an easy way to auto-download the attachments I get into my inbox from the suppliers and have them be sorted in folders categorised by supplier and date that would be fantastic.
Eg. My quarter runs from June-August, in this period I'll get about 100+ emails from around ~20 suppliers. I would like to have something that auto-creates a folder for this time period and then creates subfolders for each supplier. So we would have one folder, with ~20 folders inside.
Inside each folder, there would be the invoices that I received from each of the email addresses (eg. sales@company1.com), even more ideally renamed in a standardised format (eg. company1_invoice25_date16.08.19). Any issues, I can easily find what I am looking for.
This would save me (and other people) an enormous amount of time and energy. If you can find a way to auto-integrate it with some of the Accounting software out there (eg. Xero) then you would have something amazing for small biz and put plenty of beancounters out of business.
Hope this helps with some inspiration.
