How does Cliniko work for Invoice Processing automation?
Cliniko works for Invoice Processing automation by powering a DeskFerry agent that runs the workflow end-to-end inside your existing tools — no code, no custom build.
- 01
Trigger fires
The agent connects to Cliniko alongside the other apps your team already uses, watches for the triggers that matter for Invoice Processing, and takes the next step on its own while keeping a complete audit trail for review.
- 02
Read every invoice that lands in our AP @Gmail inbox with @Cliniko
AI reads invoices in any format, extracting line items, totals, and vendor details in seconds.
- 03
Extract line items
Teams typically see minutes from receipt to GL post once the agent is in production.
- 04
Match to POs
You stay in control: every action is logged, confidence thresholds are configurable, and anything ambiguous is queued for a human instead of being silently auto-completed.
- 05
You approve
Anything under your confidence bar waits for a human.
How you tell it what to do
Built in plain English.
You write the rule the way you'd describe it to a teammate. The agent reads the rule, breaks it into the actions it'll take, and confirms the apps it'll touch — before it does anything.
