# Tutorial 2: Automate to Save Time

By automating as much as possible, you make BestInvoicing work for you. Don't waste any more time thanks to these easily set up actions! 

## Action 1: Connect your Bank Account

Link BestInvoicing to your bank account. Via partners such as Ponto, your bank transaction data is retrieved from your online banking environment and matched with your documents in BestInvoicing. This way e.g. invoices are automatically marked as 'paid' and you no longer have to follow up on them yourself. Click the link below to read how to set up this connection in BestInvoicing.
