Email Forwarding
What Is Email Forwarding?
Email forwarding gives you a unique @in.receiptix.io email address. Forward any receipt email to it — a hotel confirmation, an online order, a restaurant e-receipt — and Receiptix automatically creates an expense from it. Attachments like images and PDFs get scanned by the same AI that powers receipt scanning. Plain-text digital receipts get parsed directly.
You get a personal email address for your own expenses, and each project can have its own separate address so forwarded receipts land in the right place.
How It Works
Generate Address
Go to Settings > Email Forwarding and tap Generate Email Address.
Copy It
Your unique address appears on screen. Tap the copy button to grab it.
Forward Receipts
Forward receipt emails from any email app to your Receiptix address.
Done
Receiptix processes the email and creates an expense automatically.
What Gets Processed
The system handles two types of receipt emails:
Email Attachments
Images and PDFs attached to the email are scanned by AI — just like scanning a receipt in the app.
- JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP
- PDF files
- Multiple attachments = multiple expenses
Text-Based Receipts
No attachments? The email body itself gets parsed. Great for digital receipts that arrive as plain text or HTML.
- HTML email receipts
- Plain text confirmations
- AI extracts merchant, amount, date
When an email has attachments, each one becomes a separate expense. When there are no supported attachments, the email body text is used instead.
Project Email Addresses
Besides your personal address, each project can have its own email address. Receipts forwarded to a project address are added directly to that project instead of your personal collection.
Open Project
Go to the project's detail page.
Generate Address
Find the Project Email section and tap Generate Email Address.
Forward Away
Forward receipts to this address — they'll appear in the project.
Only the project owner can generate or regenerate a project's email address. All project members can see and copy it.
Managing Your Address
- Copy to clipboard — tap the copy icon next to your address to grab it quickly
- Regenerate — creates a new address and immediately invalidates the old one. Useful if your address gets unwanted mail
Tips & Details
Works With Any Email App
Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, Yahoo — anything that can forward an email works. You can also set up auto-forwarding rules in your email provider to send receipts automatically.
Rate Limit
You can forward up to 20 receipt emails per hour. This is per user, not per address — personal and project addresses share the same limit.
Attachment Size
Individual attachments can be up to 20 MB. Unsupported file types (like .zip or .doc) are silently skipped — only images and PDFs are processed.
Address Security
Your email address is unique and randomly generated. If it ever gets compromised or starts receiving spam, regenerate it — the old one stops working immediately.
No Confirmation Emails
You won't receive a reply or confirmation when forwarding receipts. The expense simply appears in the app. If something doesn't arrive, check that your subscription is active and you haven't hit the hourly limit.
