Generating Estimates and Invoices from Airtable


I've done a small amount of freelance work over the years, and I used Blinksale for invoicing. Very low volume, like 3/month or 30-40 per year.

About a year ago, or so, the monthly price doubled from $9.99 to $19.99.

The price still makes sense if I was sending out at least a handful of invoices, and ultimately, generating substantial revenue.


Fortunately, I was able to export the data.

The data was then parsed and imported into Airtable.

From there, I have a Rails app, as part of this website, that generates a custom, printable view for the Invoice data.

The tables involved were:

  • Organizations
  • Addresses
  • Invoices
  • Line Items
