Request-to-invoice walkthrough

See how Flopinio handles client work from intake to invoice.

Follow one sample Northstar Health Labs request in four steps. This overview uses Acme Research Demo records. It does not create work or send invoices.

Step 1 of 4

External Inbox to urgent request

A connected Gmail item enters External Inbox with its source intact. The operator reviews the client, project, urgency, and suggested destination before creating work.

Why it matters

Incoming context stays reviewable instead of silently becoming a task with missing details.

What to check
Confirm the client signal and choose what record should exist.
What happens next
Source evidence remains linked when the item becomes a request.
Next: Plan delivery

Urgent

Northstar needs rollback guidance before the 3 PM steering call

The appointment-confirmation flow is blocked. Preserve the client message, confirm the affected launch project, and route it for review.

Step 2 of 4

Project hub & active work

The accepted request is connected to the Northstar launch project and a priority task, alongside current health and delivery evidence.

Why it matters

The project becomes a live execution hub instead of a passive folder.

What to check
See the blocker, owner gap, and next task together.
What happens next
The request, project, task, and note retain their relationships.
Next: Track and review

Step 3 of 4

Track work and review AI suggestions

Tracked time and an AI review use the same linked requests, tasks, and notes. Review the suggested client action before approving it.

Why it matters

Check the source records and proposed action before deciding.

What to check
Review the evidence and decide whether the client-facing action should proceed.
What happens next
The review and approval history stay attached to the work.
Next: Invoice evidence

The suggested client update uses the request, task, delivery note, and tracked time. Sending remains an explicit approval step.

Pending human approval

Step 4 of 4

Invoice & billing evidence

Tracked launch work becomes invoice evidence without losing the tasks, notes, or request that explain it.

Why it matters

Billing is more reliable when it follows delivery evidence instead of month-end reconstruction.

What to check
Review included work and confirm the evidence before sending.
What happens next
Time, invoice preparation, and delivery provenance remain connected.
