You can create invoices automatically from Google Sheets in a few easy steps. It is simple to use Portant as a free Google Sheets invoice template which contains all kinds of different elements including your logo, unique invoice numbers, payment terms and contact information. After you have opened Portant Workflow, select your Google Sheet, then connect a Google Docs invoice template, customise your blank invoice template with column tags, attach it to an email and finally click ‘Start automation’, and voila!, you have automated your invoicing from Google Sheets! Prefer to build one by hand? Use our free invoice generator to create and download an invoice in your browser, no signup required.
We know how painful and monotonous it can be to copy and paste invoice data into invoice templates, double check all the information is correct, save it as a pdf and then send the invoice to your customers. That is why we have come to the rescue.
With Portant you can connect a Google Sheet to an invoice template, click a few buttons and invoices will be magically generated and sent whenever you need to. You can also customise the email and who it is sent from (e.g. accounts@portant.co). It is easy to place your invoicing on autopilot.
01
Select the Sheet you want to create invoices from.
02
Connect a Google Doc invoice template
03
Click ‘insert’ to place tags in your invoice template
04
Then generate invoices from your Google Sheet
Step 1
Make your own copy of the free invoice template. It opens in your Google Drive ready to use: add your logo, business details, and line items, and the totals calculate for you. Want to send invoices on autopilot? Connect this Sheet to Portant in the steps below.
Copy template
Step 2
When you connect your Google Sheet, you can replace our invoice template with your own if you have one prepared already or edit our one. Also, you can connect multiple documents (e.g. if you need to send a contract with an invoice π)
Step 3
Open the document block and add tags into your invoice template. You can format the tags and the data from your Google Sheet will be inserted using the same format (bold, italic, colour etc). You can use data grouping to insert multiple rows from your Google Sheet into the same invoice (e.g. if your line items are split on separate rows in your Google Sheet).
Step 4
Open the email block and customise how you would like to share your invoice. You can also edit the email invoices are sent from (e.g. accounts@portant.co). Then click ‘Start automation’ and test your workflow. Your invoices will be stored in a folder made in your Google Drive, which can be edited in the ‘Outputs’ tab. Snap, you have done it!
