What Well does with Dropbox invoices on the way to Bill.com.

01Featured

Turn invoices into bills ready for scheduling

Well parses every invoice attachment in Dropbox into a bill record in Well (vendor, amount, due date, line items), then forwards the PDF to Bill.com's email-in inbox. The original message ID is kept on the document so AP can trace any bill back to the originating email.

02

Match parsed invoices to existing vendors

Before creating a new vendor proposal, Well probes the parsed invoice header against your prior history inside its own ledger. Above the match threshold the bill attaches to the existing vendor record; below it the proposal queues for sign-off, and the match is reflected on the document forwarded to Bill.com.

03

Capture amount context for the approval step

Each parsed Dropbox attachment carries amount and cost-centre context inside Well so approval routing in Bill.com sees the right metadata. Small invoices flow straight through; larger ones wait on a named approver in Bill.com based on the parsed amount.

04

Reconcile credit notes against the originating bill

Credit notes received in Dropbox are parsed inside Well, matched to the originating bill in its own ledger, and the offset is captured before delivery. The document forwarded to Bill.com reflects the net balance so AP does not have to compute the offset manually.

7 signals and actions across Dropbox and Bill.com

  • When a supplier is detected on a parsed Dropbox file

    Extracts the supplier named on a parsed file and matches it against your existing companies.

    Trigger·Company
  • When a document file lands in the watched Dropbox folder

    Picks up a new receipt or supporting document from the watched folder and stores it as a Well document for matching.

    Trigger·Document
  • When an invoice file lands in the watched Dropbox folder

    Reads the new PDF from the watched Dropbox folder and parses it into a structured invoice with supplier, amount, date, and tax.

    Trigger·Invoice
  • Resolve a Bill.com vendor from the bill

    Bill.com's IVA OCR resolves the vendor name from the document. You complete the vendor setup (banking, tax) separately.

    Action·Company
  • Route the bill through Bill.com's multi-step approval policy

    The created bill enters your Bill.com approval policy and is routed to the assigned approver roles in sequence; each approver reviews the coding and signs off before the bill is cleared for AP. Well never approves the bill, picks a funding account, or releases payment.

    Action·Invoice
  • Create a bill in Bill.com inbox

    Well forwards the PDF to your Bill.com inbox; Bill.com's IVA reads the vendor, invoice number, amount, and due date into a new bill and drops it straight into your AP approval policy.

    Action·Invoice
  • Attach the source PDF to the Bill.com bill

    The forwarded PDF is the bill record itself in Bill.com's inbox.

Connect Dropbox and Bill.com in three steps.

  1. Dropbox logo1

    Connect Dropbox

    Click Connect with Dropbox; you authorise the folder Well watches through Apideck's file-storage connection and authorise read access to supplier-invoice and document files read from a watched folder via Apideck file-storage. Access tokens are exchanged and refreshed automatically before they expire, and the grant is revocable from your Dropbox.

    • AuthConnect
  2. 2

    Map your accounts

    Well discovers the Dropbox attachments matching your invoice pattern (supplier-invoice and document files read from a watched folder via Apideck file-storage) and the the Bill.com inbox awaiting approval. Tune the parsing prompt once on the first ten records; Well saves the mapping and applies it to every subsequent attachment above 85% confidence.

Well calls Dropbox with an OAuth 2.0 token scoped to read-only access. Dropbox's consent screen lists the scopes before you approve; access tokens are exchanged and refreshed automatically before they expire. Well's storage region is configured per workspace regardless of where Dropbox and Bill.com host theirs.

Frequently asked questions about Dropbox and Bill.com on Well

01What Dropbox data does Well pull into Bill.com?
Well watches Dropbox for attachments matching the configured invoice and receipt filters, extracts supplier-invoice and document files read from a watched folder via Apideck file-storage, and forwards the structured output to Bill.com as bills via email-in inbox, with vendor, invoice number, amount, and due date populated by Bill.com's IVA OCR, with the original email message ID stored on every record for audit.
02How often does Dropbox data sync to Bill.com?
Well polls the Dropbox API every fifteen minutes for new records; new activity reaches the downstream target on the next polling cycle. Records collected during a polling window are matched in a batch, then ranked by confidence; the Bill.com write happens at the end of the window, never mid-sync.
03Does Well handle multi-currency records between Dropbox and Bill.com?
Dropbox carries the original transaction currency on every record and Bill.com natively ledgers in multiple currencies. Well preserves the original amount, applies your Bill.com chart-of-accounts conversion rules at posting time, and both the source and converted amounts ride on the document Well forwards to Bill.com, so the Bill.com entry you post keeps both sides of the trade.
04How does Well prevent duplicates when posting Dropbox records to Bill.com?
Every Dropbox message has a stable message ID, and Well stores it the moment the attachment is parsed. If the same email is reprocessed (label change, mailbox migration, or a manual rerun), Well recognises the message ID and skips the duplicate, or updates the linked Bill.com entry if a downstream field changed. Forwarded copies of the same invoice are caught by counterparty-plus-amount matching before they reach Bill.com.
05Can I customise which Dropbox fields are sent to Bill.com?
The default mapping turns every parsed Dropbox attachment into a Bill.com-shaped record (vendor, amount, due date, tax). From the integration settings page you can adjust the parsing prompt, force a vendor mapping, attach the original PDF on a specific Bill.com field, or compute a tag from your connected data. Custom mappings are versioned so a change does not retroactively touch already-posted Bill.com entries.
06How does Well authenticate with Dropbox and Bill.com?
Dropbox runs a manual OAuth 2.0 flow that you approve inside Dropbox; Well receives a refresh token scoped to the resources it needs to read. For the delivery side, Well forwards the reconciled document to your Bill.com email-in address once it clears the matching threshold; Bill.com creates the draft record from it and you confirm and post it. Well holds no write credential to Bill.com. Tokens are encrypted at rest and in transit under TLS 1.3. Dropbox and Bill.com together cover multiple regions; Well's storage region is configured per workspace.
