Accounting & BookkeepingInvoicing & Billing3MediumAccounting Professional$ implied

When invoices are embedded in the email body (not as PDF attachments), manual extraction is messy and time-consuming, breaking an otherwise automated accounting workflow.

Current accounting automation (Dext → QuickBooks) only handles invoice attachments, not invoices embedded in email bodies. No clean way to extract embedded invoices without manual PDF conversion or screenshots.
