Convert Base64 Receipts to PDF Links

🧩 Problem

Vendors send receipts as base64; finance tools expect file URLs. When malformed or unstructured data hits routers, filters, or API connectors, entire automations halt or silently drop records. Teams end up retrying runs, hand-editing payloads, and explaining delays to customers.

💡 Why This Happens

Email/PDF receipts are embedded as base64 to avoid attachments. Most automation platforms assume well-formed payloads and do minimal validation. AI models, third-party APIs, and changing vendor schemas drift over time, mixing encodings, formats, and unexpected fields that downstream steps cannot tolerate.
