About Bill

Bill is one of the Spend / Cards / AP / P2P platforms BeforeQuery connects to.

How BeforeQuery uses Bill

What the agent does with your Bill connection

  • 01

    Read transactions, cards, requests, and vendor data from Bill into the Context Graph.

  • 02

    Auto-approve routine spend under policy; escalate exceptions with context bundled.

  • 03

    Answer employee spend questions ("what's my card limit?", "where's my expense report?").

  • 04

    Draft receipts + memo lines from context (calendar events, meeting attendees).

Use cases

What teams actually do with the Bill integration

Auto-approve routine spend

Bill transactions under the auto-approve threshold, in-policy category, with clean receipt matching auto-clear. Everything else routes to the approver with the specific policy question highlighted.

Expense report drafting

Employee snaps a receipt → BeforeQuery classifies the merchant, pulls the calendar event (client dinner, team offsite), drafts the memo line, and files the expense report in Bill. Employee approves, done.

Vendor risk + duplicate check

Before every AP payment in Bill, BeforeQuery checks for duplicate invoices, sanctioned vendors, and unusual bank-account changes. Anomalies escalate to finance; clean payments proceed.

Answer questions grounded in Bill

Employees and customers ask Bill-related questions in Slack, Teams, or the widget — BeforeQuery answers with the exact Bill record shown alongside the response. No context switching, no "log into Spend / Cards / AP / P2P to check" round-trips.

Bill — Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about connecting BeforeQuery to Bill.

Yes, with approver check-in per your matrix. Small payments (< threshold) can be autopilot; larger require finance approver; large + first-time-vendor combinations always require step-up.
Standard OAuth 2.0 where Bill supports it, otherwise API-key or bearer-token auth. Credentials are stored encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM) per workspace, never shared across customers, and rotated on request. The connection is scoped to the least-privilege set of scopes each playbook needs — you approve the scope list on install.
No. Your Bill data feeds only your workspace's own agents and answers. Nothing is used to train a shared model, and nothing crosses workspace boundaries. Bring-your-own-model is available on Enterprise if you want to pin inference to your own OpenAI / Anthropic / self-hosted deployment.
Yes. Every Bill integration is scoped at install time — you pick which resources, users, or record types are visible. You can further restrict per-playbook: a single playbook only touches the specific Bill objects it needs. Scope changes take effect on the next sync.
Every write is logged with the acting user, the playbook that fired it, the exact operation, the target entity IDs, and the timestamp — all in the immutable audit log. Writes are rehearsable in simulation mode against a copy of live data before they touch Bill for real.
