The problem it solves

At the start of every month, someone has to go through your billing system, pull every invoice, and file them somewhere organized. It's a repetitive task that eats up time you could spend on actual client work.

Who it fits

A subscription or SaaS business that bills customers through Chargebee and needs organized, ready-to-reference invoice records.

How it works

  1. Runs automatically on the first of each month
  2. Pulls every invoice issued in the previous month from Chargebee
  3. Generates a PDF copy of each invoice
  4. Names each file with the date and customer name
  5. Uploads all the PDFs into an invoices folder in NextCloud

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
