Frequently Asked Questions
How do I handle invoices with different amounts?
Copy the unique data (amount, date, vendor) to your clipboard before playing the macro. ClickMimic will paste whatever is currently copied at the right spots in your workflow.
Can I automate invoice approval workflows?
Yes! Record the clicks to route invoices through your approval system—opening the invoice, clicking approve/reject buttons, and adding comments. Replay for each invoice in your queue.
Does it work with scanned paper invoices?
ClickMimic automates the UI interactions, so if you can view and copy from scanned invoices (using Preview or OCR software), you can automate entering that data into your systems.
What accounting software does it support?
ClickMimic works with any software on your Mac—QuickBooks, Xero, FreshBooks, Wave, Sage, or any browser-based accounting tool. It records your clicks regardless of the application.
Can I batch process multiple invoices?
Yes! Combine ClickMimic with a spreadsheet of invoice data. The macro can tab through fields while you paste from each row, processing invoices rapidly.
