BillCapture: Attorney Time & Billing Catch-Up Engine

BillCapture: Attorney Time & Billing Catch-Up Engine ships as a ready-to-import n8n automation package: load the bundled workflow JSON, connect the credentials listed on this page, and activate it on self-hosted n8n or n8n Cloud.

Stop losing 20-50% of your billable hours to end-of-week reconstruction — AI turns your calendar into invoice-ready time entries every evening, plus a monthly pre-bill draft per client.

Capture billable time automatically every evening from your real calendar — no more end-of-week reconstruction
AI classifies each event by client and matter and writes a professional, invoice-ready description
Computes hours from the actual event duration, rounded to the standard 0.1h billing increment — never invented by AI
Drops meetings shorter than your minimum and skips anything already captured, so nothing gets double-logged
Appends every entry to a Google Sheet you already control, marked Draft - Needs Review for a quick edit pass
Emails a same-day digest with hours and dollar totals so nothing slips through unseen
Sends an automatic month-end pre-bill draft grouped by client, ready to turn into real invoices

FAQ

About this template

How long does it take to set up BillCapture: Attorney Time & Billing Catch-Up Engine?

Most people finish in minutes following the guide. If you’ve never used n8n before, budget an hour — the first workflow is always the slowest.

What if I get stuck?

Email support@n8ntemplatestore.com. Free basic support is included with every purchase, and you’ll get a reply from our team within 24 hours. If setup needs more than email, we can schedule a call.

Do I need to pay for Google Calendar?

API costs are separate and go directly to the provider — typically a few dollars a month at most for a solo business. Full breakdown is in the setup guide.

Can I customize the workflow?

Yes, completely. You own the .json — edit nodes, swap in your own prompts, re-wire the logic. Our support team can help you plan customizations over email.

What if it doesn’t work for me?

Refunds are issued only as described in our Refund Policy (https://n8ntemplatestore.com/refund-policy). Or add Setup Service at checkout for a live install and test session — pick any tier you prefer.
