Guides Claude published jan 7, 2026
In this guide, you’ll learn how to track and label expenses from Gmail into Google Sheets in a couple of minutes using Claude for Chrome. You’ll produce a populated expense-tracking sheet and use Claude as a personal assistant without building complex automation chains.
You’ll build a reusable Claude for Chrome workflow that finds software subscription receipts in Gmail, labels relevant emails, archives non-receipts, and fills a Google Sheet with expense details.
You can add other headers like “Category” or “Reimbursable?” and Claude for Chrome will fill them out.
Install Claude for Chrome from the Chrome Web Store.
Create a Google Sheet with the headers you want Claude to populate. In this example, use: Expense Title, Company, Amount, Date, and Renewal Date.
Pro tip: You can add other headers like “Category” or “Reimbursable?” and Claude for Chrome will fill them out.
Copy the link to your Google Sheet. You’ll use it in the next step.
In a new Chrome tab, click Extensions → Claude.
You should see your current tab highlighted. This means Claude can perform work in the tab. Any tabs Claude opens will also be highlighted.
Paste the following prompt into the Claude for Chrome chat box. Make sure you add your Google Sheet link.
Look through my Gmail inbox and find all software subscription receipts from [Month + Year].
I have a Google Sheet already created at [YOUR GOOGLE SHEET URL HERE] with headers: Expense Title, Company, Amount, Date, Renewal Date. Navigate to it and fill in each row with the extracted information from the receipts. Add a total row at the bottom.
For each email you process: add the “receipt” label to any receipts or subscription sign-ups, and archive everything else that isn’t a receipt, including marketing emails and newsletters.Let Claude work for 10–15 minutes. You may have to prompt it to continue if you have a lot of emails.
