About This Product
Stop chasing paper receipts and approval signatures for every IEP-related purchase — this N8N workflow turns your expense approval and reimbursement process into a 5-minute automated pipeline.
This workflow eliminates the manual back-and-forth of special education expense approvals, from teacher requests to administrator sign-off and reimbursement. It ensures every expense is documented, compliant with IEP guidelines, and trackable in real time — saving you hours of administrative work per week.
## What's Included
- Automated multi-step approval chain (teacher → coordinator → finance) with email notifications at each stage
- Built-in expense categorization tied to IEP goals and service types for easy auditing
- Digital receipt upload and storage with automatic OCR extraction of key data
- Real-time status dashboard showing pending, approved, and reimbursed expenses
- Customizable reimbursement rules (per-student caps, annual limits, priority flags) that trigger automatic alerts
