Email-in receipt capture gives every Receiptflow user their own dedicated email address, so receipts arrive by simply forwarding them, no login or app download required. Clients or team members attach a receipt, hit send, and it lands directly in the extraction queue, matched to the right account automatically.

A dedicated address, ready from day one

Each user is issued a unique Receiptflow email address the moment their account is set up, no separate configuration step, ready to use immediately.

Forward it the way you'd forward anything else - no plugin, no new habit.

A unique email address per user, no login required to submit.

Extraction starts the moment it lands

The attached receipt is pulled out, matched to the sender's account, and sent straight into extraction, ready for review, without anyone needing to check the inbox manually.

No queue to trigger - the email arriving is the trigger.

Multiple receipts in one email, no problem

Several attachments in a single email are each processed as separate receipts, so a client forwarding a week's worth of purchases at once does not need to split them up first.

The problem it removes

Why email-in matters for receipt chasing

Not every client wants another login, and email is a channel they already use every day. A standing address removes the friction that causes receipts to pile up unsent, and emailed supplier invoices can be forwarded straight in instead of downloaded, saved, and uploaded manually.

No new habit to learn

Forwarding an email is something clients already do, there is nothing new to explain or onboard them to.

No download-then-upload step

Emailed supplier invoices skip the save-and-upload sequence entirely, forwarding is the whole action.

No app required

Anyone with an email client can submit a receipt, regardless of whether they have installed the Receiptflow app.

Who it's for

Clients and suppliers who default to email

Clients uncomfortable with apps

Email is already familiar territory, removing a barrier that an app download might create for less tech-comfortable clients.

Suppliers who invoice by email

An invoice that already arrived by email can be forwarded on directly, no separate capture step needed.

Team members working from inboxes

Staff already managing their day from an inbox can submit receipts without switching to a separate tool.

FAQs

Questions about email-in receipts

Prefer clients upload directly instead? See the Client Submission Portal, or explore the rest of the features hub.

Do clients need a Receiptflow account to email in a receipt?

No. Anyone can send a receipt to a user's unique Receiptflow email address without logging in, creating an account, or installing anything.

Can I forward a supplier's invoice email directly?

Yes. Forward the original email with the invoice attached and it's picked up the same way as a photographed receipt, ready for extraction.

What happens if I send multiple receipts in one email?

Each attachment is processed as a separate receipt, so you can forward several at once without splitting them into individual emails.

Does every user get their own email address?

Yes, each user on the account has a dedicated address, so submitted receipts are automatically matched to the right person and client.

What file types can be emailed in?

Standard receipt and invoice formats including images (JPG, PNG) and PDFs are accepted as email attachments.

Can I set up automatic forwarding from another inbox?

Yes, most email providers support forwarding rules, which can be pointed at the unique Receiptflow address for hands-off submission.

Is there a limit to how many emails I can send per day?

Normal usage is not restricted, contact support if you expect unusually high volume through a single address.
