When will there be an Automator-like tool which will allow a user to create basic workflows?

I have a stack of several hundred invoices with checks which I take photos of and then need to rename to match the Invoice ID.

If I could also have it find the check #, amoutn, and date of the check and some other information and use all that to construct a filename --- that would be ideal, but just getting the Invoice ID would be a nice start.
