Harvest Integration & Invoice Workflow Automation
Run Harvest on autopilot. Keep the veto.
57 actions
Invoice payments get created, projects get deleted, and expense records get updated before you've had a chance to check what fired. Rills proposes every Harvest action; you approve before anything goes out.
Interactive. No signup. 14 days free · approvals always free.
Most automation fires first, asks later. Rills shows you the change before it ships.
Every consequential payments action from Harvest arrives on your phone first. Approve in seconds. Decline without explaining yourself. Workflows wait, paused at zero cost, until you decide.

Matching payments confirmed in connected payments tool
Same batch pattern as last month's reconciliation run
Free to wait. Free to think.
Approvals and logic don't cost a credit. Pause a workflow for three hours or three weeks. The price is the same: zero. You only pay when something real happens: an AI call, an outbound action.
Approve from your phone in five seconds.
Swipe right when you're sure. Decline when you're not. Between meetings, mid-coffee, on the train. No dashboard to babysit, no inbox triage, no 3am stomach-drop wondering what shipped while you slept.
Routine cases graduate themselves.
Every approval feeds a confidence score for that exact workflow shape. The obvious cases (the ones you've green-lit fifty times) start running on their own. The judgment calls still come to you.
About Harvest automation
Billing mistakes in Harvest do not stay inside Harvest. An invoice message sent to the wrong client, a project deleted while hours are still being logged, an expense updated with the wrong category — these go out and then you deal with them.
When Harvest runs unsupervised
Automation that writes directly to your Harvest account can compound a small error into a client-facing problem before you see the first signal.
- A Create Invoice Message fires to a client whose payment dispute is still open, making your position harder to defend.
- A Delete Project runs on a project that still has unbilled time attached, and those hours disappear from your records.
- A Create Expense posts under the wrong expense category, corrupting the report your accountant is about to pull.
- An Update Task marks billable hours as non-billable across an entire project, silently shrinking your next invoice.
- A Create Invoice Payment logs a duplicate payment against an invoice that was already settled, throwing your books off.
What Rills does inside Harvest
Rills sits between your workflow logic and your Harvest account. When a rule says to create an invoice payment, delete a client, or send an invoice message, Rills surfaces the proposal with the context it gathered, then waits. Nothing posts to Harvest until you approve Harvest actions explicitly.
The invoice still goes out; you just see exactly what it says before it does.
Why Harvest has no triggers and how Rills fills the gap
Harvest does not emit events that can start a workflow on their own. Rills compensates by running scheduled polls and accepting upstream signals from the tools that do fire events, feeding the results into Harvest operations on a schedule you control.
- Scheduled invoice review: Rills polls List Invoices on a cadence you set, flags overdue or unsent invoices, and proposes a Create Invoice Message for each one before anything sends.
- Expense reconciliation: A nightly poll against List Expense Categories and Update Expense catches miscategorized entries and queues corrections for your review each morning.
- Project hygiene: Rills checks List Clients and Delete Project candidates on a weekly schedule, surfacing stale projects that match your criteria so you decide what closes.
- Payments automation: When an upstream payments tool confirms a charge, Rills proposes a Create Invoice Payment in Harvest, matched to the right invoice, holding it in queue until you confirm the match is correct.
