Can ExpenseBot help me build an employee expense report to get reimbursed?
Yes. ExpenseBot is for you, the employee submitting for reimbursement — not a spend platform your company has to buy. It captures your work receipts, adds mileage, and builds the report you hand to finance.
How it works
- Gmail capture — connect once; ExpenseBot pulls the receipt and confirmation emails already in your inbox (flights, hotels, meals, software), extracts vendor/date/amount. No forwarding rules.
- Photos + forwarding — snap paper receipts (taxi, parking) or forward emailed ones.
- Mileage from Google Calendar — it can read your Calendar to compute drive distance and apply your country's rate (IRS / CRA / HMRC). Estimates — confirm against your employer's policy.
- Approval-ready report — an itemized Google Sheet with the receipt images attached, the format managers and finance expect. Export or share it.
For a strict reimbursement workspace, the first path in My Reports is Create reimbursement report. This applies when the user is standard or an Employee, or has durable active team membership, after the app has excluded acting-for sessions, owner/business and specialist personas, and active role-gated specialist reports. Capture receipts, open Review expenses to check categories, tags, business use, and splits, then create the report and submit or share it with the person who handles reimbursement. The authenticated Review expenses workspace is also available directly at /review-expenses.
This audience does not need business-planning or tax-insight cards to submit a claim. The optional Year-End Expense Summary remains a Settings workflow when available, and Settings → Automation Hub remains available for automation choices. Pulse is off by default for reimbursement-only users; an explicit opt-in remains respected.
What it is not
ExpenseBot builds the reimbursement-ready report; it does not run your company's approval workflow or enforce spend policy.
vs. the reimbursable-expense invoice tool
The reimbursable expense invoice builder creates a billable invoice for expenses you charge a client. This is the employee reimbursement workflow — building the report you submit to your employer. Different jobs; use whichever fits.
Your records stay in your own Google Drive, so you keep a history of what you've claimed even if you change jobs.
