Tired of Copy-Pasting Invoices? So Was I. That’s Why I Built Dropflow
The Problem: My Inbox Was My Bookkeeper (and a Terrible One)
As a freelancer and entrepreneur, my inbox was constantly flooded with invoices - from tools, subscriptions, freelancers I worked with, and services I used regularly.
At the end of each month (or when tax time loomed), I'd find myself scrolling through endless email threads, opening PDFs, and manually copying invoice data into my Google Sheet. Vendor name, amount, date, VAT - all painfully entered one by one.
Sound familiar?
No Accounting Software, No Problem
Like many solo operators and small teams, I didn't use a full-blown accounting system. They felt too clunky, too expensive, or just overkill for my setup.
All I needed was this:
- A simple overview of what I was spending
- In a spreadsheet I could share with my accountant
- Updated in real time, without hours of manual work
That's when I thought:
"There has to be a better way to get invoice data out of emails and into a spreadsheet."
The Solution: One Email, One Flow
That idea became Dropflow -- a tool that lets you forward any invoice email to a custom address, extracts the key data, and logs it into your connected Google Sheet. Automatically.
You set it up once. After that, you just forward or BCC invoice emails as they come in. Done.
No app switching. No copy-paste. No manual errors. Just clean data, right where you need it.
Perfect for Freelancers, Entrepreneurs, Small Businesses
If you:
- Get paid through different platforms
- Use lots of online services
- Work with multiple vendors or freelancers
- Have to report expenses or submit monthly overviews
... then Dropflow can save you serious time.
No more:
- Digging through your inbox
- Forgetting that one stray invoice
- Wasting your Sunday on accounting admin.
Just forward, and forget.
Bonus: Your Sheet, Your Rules
Want to add categories? Track project codes? Group by vendor?
Because Dropflow writes directly into your Google Sheet, you can customize it however you want. It's your data, in your format.

That's the story.
I built Dropflow to solve a real, annoying problem for myself - and now it's solving that same problem for other people like me.
If you want to save hours every month and keep your books tidy without buying heavyweight software, give Dropflow a try.
