Does FreshBooks have AP automation built in?

Partly. Bill Pay (US-only, via Unit) extracts data from uploaded PDF/JPG/PNG bills, but only the business owner can use it and no approval workflow is described. However, Accounts Payable (bills and vendors) with Automatic Bill Receipt Data Capture is on Premium and Select only, and line-item capture is Select only. For FreshBooks, Vergo's live integration covers expense management: card spend and receipts.
