Workflow overview. The examples below are edited illustrations with consistent sample data; personal and payment identifiers have been replaced.

THE PROJECT

A receipt in.
A structured record out.

This AI workflow connects Telegram submissions with SIDACC’s expense records. A staff member sends a payment screenshot with a short caption. The workflow normalises the request, checks approved names and purposes, and uses AI to extract payment information from the receipt.

The extracted details are prepared for the accounting backend, with the original evidence retained alongside the record. Telegram replies confirm the result and provide a reference for checking status or requesting corrections. Recovery checks and failure replies help keep an uncertain save from being presented as a confirmed success.

THE WORKFLOW IN PRACTICE

From submission
to saved record.

Illustrative examples with matching sample data. Personal details and payment identifiers have been replaced.

01 / Receipt submission

A receipt and short caption provide the starting information. Names, payment identifiers, amount and dates shown here are illustrative.

02 / Confirmation reply

The confirmation summarises the saved information and offers status and correction commands. This response was edited to match the sample submission.

03 / Saved expense record

The corresponding record brings the payment fields, original evidence and caption together for administrative review. All displayed private details have been replaced.

02

Validation & review

Check approved names and purposes, prepare the backend request and route information needing clarification for review.
