Most powerful ways to connect OpenAI Vision and FreshBooks
OpenAI Vision + FreshBooks + Slack: When a new expense is added to FreshBooks, trigger OpenAI Vision to identify and extract information from an image file in Google Drive, using the FreshBooks expense details to find the file. The extracted data is then used to update the expense details in FreshBooks, and a summary is sent to Slack.
FreshBooks + Google Drive + OpenAI Vision: When a new invoice is created in FreshBooks, trigger Google Drive to search for supporting documents. The documents are then sent to OpenAI Vision to analyze the content and identify relevant data, which is attached back to the FreshBooks invoice. A notification is sent to Slack about the attached documents.
