The extracted data is then written to Google Sheets  \n\n### Setup\n* **Cradl AI action**. Click [here](https://rc.app.cradl.ai/login?redirect=signup&template=n8n%2Finvoices-gmail-to-sheets.json) to create a free Cradl AI account. Choose _n8n_ when prompted for integrations, then follow the setup instructions in the node.  \n* **GMail trigger**. Connect with GMail and customize email filters. For example, if you have a shared mailbox where you receive inboxes you may want to add `to:invoices@mycompany.com` to the _Search filter_ parameter. \n* **Google Sheets action**. Connect your credentials and map the extracted fields from the Cradl AI output to Google Sheets.  \n\n### Customize\n* The fields that are extracted can be easily customized by logging into your Cradl AI account and updating your agent definition.  \n* Validation rules and reviewers (e.g. from your accounting team) can be added as **human-in-the-loop validators** directly in your Cradl AI account.\n\n### Tutorial\n\n@[youtube](yjVJ8w2U1_M)\n\n"
