How to automaticallyprocess email receipts?

To set up email forwarding, first copy your private ReceiptsAI forwarding address from your account. Then add it as a forwarding destination in Gmail, Outlook, or your business email provider.

The best setup is a filtered rule that forwards only receipt and invoice emails. Match known vendor domains, labels, or subject words like receipt, invoice, order, and payment so new documents are processed as soon as they land in your inbox.

Receipt email forwarding sends a copy of a receipt or invoice email to a dedicated processing inbox. Instead of opening the email, downloading attachments, and entering fields by hand, you send it to ReceiptsAI and let the system read it.

Every ReceiptsAI account gets a private forwarding address. Anything sent to that address is treated as a document to process, including the email body, HTML receipt layout, PDF attachments, and image attachments.

After the email arrives, ReceiptsAI extracts merchant, date, amount, tax, payment, currency, invoice number, and line-item data where available. The result appears in your dashboard categorized, searchable, and ready to export.

You can forward receipts from your phone with the same email app you already use. Once ReceiptsAI gives you a private forwarding address, save it as a contact so it is easy to find from iPhone Mail, Gmail, Outlook mobile, or any Android email app.

When a receipt arrives, open the message, tap forward, choose your ReceiptsAI contact, and send it. The email is processed in the background, and the extracted receipt data appears in your dashboard within seconds.

ReceiptsAI can process the email formats businesses receive every day: plain-text receipts, HTML receipt layouts, PDF invoices, image attachments, and vendor confirmation emails. It reads both the message body and the supported files attached to the message.

This works for many common business purchases, including SaaS subscriptions, online marketplaces, ride-share and delivery receipts, travel bookings, ad platform invoices, payment processor receipts, and supplier invoices.
