Hi everyone! I’ve been struggling to automate financial data pulls for a client using their vendor data to get the exact data points they need. Can anyone here relate?
Since I spend a lot of time in the AI space, I turned to Claude to figure out a solution and wanted to share my workflow in case it helps anyone else facing the same issue (the cost is around $10/mo depending on your platform).
- I needed to extract specific data points from the billing and membership platform rather than dealing with the rigid structure the vendor was providing.
- I used n8n to build a workflow that pulls the unstructured financial data via an API key and restructures it exactly how we want, giving us a much more accurate picture. This went into google sheets automatically and was live data.
- This has completely taken human error out of the equation and allowed them to move from three manual spreadsheets to one streamlined dashboard. Eeeeeek!
I hope this helps the community and saves you from some of the struggles I went through! Added photos to show you the example data and the n8n flow I created to help.
