Project details
I will build a Google Sheets-based invoice workflow that turns sheet rows into branded PDF invoices and adds clear processing status back to the sheet.
What this workflow does:
• Reads invoice rows from Google Sheets
• Processes only READY rows
• Validates required fields, dates, and totals
• Generates clean PDF invoices based on your sample layout
• Optionally uploads files to Google Drive
• Optionally prepares Gmail drafts for review
• Writes DONE / ERROR results and processed timestamps back to the sheet
Good fit for:
• Small businesses using Google Sheets for invoice tracking
• Teams that still create PDF invoices manually
• Businesses that want a lightweight workflow before moving to ERP software
What you receive:
• Python automation script
• Sheet column mapping guidance
• PDF invoice generation setup
• Status / error handling workflow
• Short setup and operating notes
Important note:
Cloud deployment or advanced email/auth setup can be scoped separately depending on your environment.

About Shigeru
Python & Google Apps Script Automation for Sheets, PDF, Gmail
Chiba, Japan - 5:33 am local time
My core specialty is Google Sheets-centered automation: ingesting data from Gmail/API sources, extracting and normalizing structured fields (including AI-assisted extraction when useful), generating outputs (PDFs/reports), and preparing or sending email delivery workflows.
I focus on practical operations, not just scripts:
- audit-ready logs (run_id, status/error tracking)
- duplicate prevention and rerun-safe design
- clear configuration and maintainable structure
- lightweight systems for teams before ERP/CRM adoption
---
Core workflows I build:
- Google Sheets → PDF (invoices, receipts, reports)
- Gmail/API → Google Sheets intake automation
- Scheduled reporting pipelines (ingest → transform → output)
- Email delivery automation (Gmail API drafts/send, optional SMTP)
- Google Apps Script automations with time-driven triggers
---
Recent portfolio work:
- Python Automation: scrape/ingest data → CSV → charts → multi-page PDF → email workflow (logged, reproducible, auditable)
- Gmail to Sheets AI Intake Automation (Google Apps Script + Gemini): scheduled Gmail query, structured extraction, append-only audit log, duplicate prevention (label + msg_id checkpoint), and status/error tracking
- Google Sheets → PDF invoice / receipt automation (Drive + Gmail integration)
---
Typical problems I solve:
- “We use Google Sheets but still create PDFs and emails manually.”
- “We need weekly/monthly reports generated and delivered automatically.”
- “We need a Google Apps Script workflow with logs and safe re-runs.”
- “We want a lightweight system before moving to a full ERP/CRM.”
---
What you get:
- Maintainable Python and/or Google Apps Script code
- Clear configuration and setup instructions
- Operationally usable outputs (Sheets/PDF/email flow)
- Documentation (README + setup + run procedure)
- Basic audit logging and rerun guidance
---
How I work:
- Communication: Upwork messages only (async, written-first)
- Timezone: JST (UTC+9), weekday response within 24 hours
- Process:
1) Confirm inputs/outputs and one sample (redacted is OK)
2) Build the end-to-end automation
3) Deliver a documented mini-system you can run and maintain
If you share your workflow and one sample file/email/report, I can propose the simplest build plan with a clear scope.
Steps for completing your project
After purchasing the project, send requirements so Shigeru can start the project.
Delivery time starts when Shigeru receives requirements from you.
Shigeru works on your project following the steps below.
Revisions may occur after the delivery date.
Confirm invoice layout, sheet structure, and delivery rules
I review your sample invoice, Google Sheet structure, and delivery requirements. We align on required columns, PDF layout/branding, Gmail draft format, and operating rules before implementation.
Build and test the invoice automation
I build the Python automation for PDF invoice generation and Gmail draft creation, then test it with your sample data. We adjust layout/output details and fix issues based on the selected scope.
