Beanflow - AI-Powered Automated Bookkeeping for Canadian Small Businesses

Receipt Prompts

Configure AI prompts to automatically extract information from receipts, invoices, and other unstructured documents.

What are Receipt Prompts?

Receipt Prompts are AI instructions that tell Beanflow how to extract transaction data from receipts, invoices, and other image-based documents. The AI uses computer vision to read the document and convert it into structured transaction data.

Built-in Intelligence: Beanflow already handles Canadian taxes (GST/PST/HST/QST) and basic merchant mapping automatically. Receipt Prompts let you add custom rules for specific merchants or special handling.
