Detailed explanation of the workflow process

1. Webhook Trigger: The workflow starts when a webhook receives a POST request with receipt data.
2. Mindee Processing: The workflow sends the receipt data to Mindee for extraction of relevant fields such as category, date, currency, merchant, time, and total.
3. Airtable Integration: The extracted data is then appended to the Receipt table in Airtable, ensuring that all relevant information is stored in a structured format.
4. Setting Output: Finally, a message is constructed that summarizes the expense in a user-friendly format, providing clear insights into spending.
