Need a little help to get started? Here are a few automation ideas:

An oldie but a goodie.

When a transaction falls below the alert threshold you set, your CFO is notified instantly by email. Are you wasting time chasing after your teams' missing receipts? You can finally leave your trainers in the closet; an automatic email will remind stragglers for you.

By connecting your Qonto account to Airtable, you can create a dashboard to manage your finances like a Formula 1 driver. As soon as a new transaction appears on your Qonto account, it shows up directly on Airtable. How does this benefit you? You can use all the advantages of Airtable by creating a dashboard and associating each of your transactions to a specific date. You know every cent that is credited to your account, every month of the year. You can also go a step further and include cash outflows and, thanks to a magic formula (okay fine, subtraction), view your monthly balance. With this kind of reporting, it's impossible to make a wrong turn!

If you're the type to stash away all your receipts, we have the perfect automation for you. How would you like to centralize your receipts in one place as they come in? When you add your receipts to your Qonto account, they are uploaded to a Dropbox folder automatically. Say goodbye to those long afternoons trying desperately to find that pesky receipt that should be right where you left it.

Since automatic VAT detection was introduced to Qonto, you have saved so much time. Now imagine how many precious hours you would save if, as soon as a new VAT rate was detected, it was added to a spreadsheet to calculate your VAT return automatically. One can only dream, right? Well, a simple automation can make this dream come true.
