Every invoice, as a row in Google Sheets
Tailride captures your invoices, reads the numbers off each one, and appends it to a Google Sheet as its own row — vendor, date, amount, tax and more. A running register that fills itself, with no typing.
Turning invoices into spreadsheet rows
There are a few ways to get invoice data into a sheet. Most of them mean typing, copy-pasting, or babysitting a script.
Type it in
SlowestOpen each invoice and key the vendor, date and total into a cell by hand. Accurate only while you're concentrating, and it never keeps pace with volume.
Copy and paste
TediousDownload the PDF, hunt for each figure, paste it across. Quicker than typing, still manual — and one wrong cell throws the whole column off.
Apps Script or Zapier
FragileRig an automation to append rows from Gmail. It holds until a layout shifts or the flow breaks — and it still can't read the numbers off the document.
