Forward receipts to spentr by email

Most receipts already arrive by email. Forward them to receipts@spentr.app and spentr reads the merchant, date, and total and files the expense for you.

Updated

In short

  • Forward any receipt email to receipts@spentr.app. No setup is needed for your account email.
  • To forward from a different address, add it under Profile → Auto-import from email → Allow another sender.
  • Set up a rule in Gmail, Outlook, or iCloud to forward receipts automatically.
  • Forwarding works on every plan. On Free, forwarded receipts count toward your 10 AI scans a month.

Forward a single receipt

  1. Open the receipt email in your mail app.
  2. Forward it to receipts@spentr.app from the address you use to sign in to spentr.
  3. The expense appears in spentr once it’s processed. Check it the next time you open the app.

Receipts that come as PDF attachments or as the email body both work. If a receipt is only a link to a website, open it and forward or save the PDF instead.

Forward from another email address

spentr matches forwarded email to your account by the sender. If receipts go to a work or business address that isn’t your sign-in email, add it first:

  1. On the web, open Profile and scroll to Auto-import from email.
  2. Under Allow another sender, enter the address and choose Add.
  3. Forward receipts from that address as usual.
An address can belong to only one spentr account. If it’s already in use by another account, spentr will tell you when you try to add it.

Forward receipts automatically

Gmail

  1. Open Settings (gear) → See all settings → Forwarding and POP/IMAP.
  2. Choose “Add a forwarding address” and enter receipts@spentr.app.
  3. Confirm the address from the verification email Gmail sends.
  4. Go to Filters and Blocked Addresses → Create a new filter. Use something like “receipt OR invoice” in the search terms.
  5. Choose “Forward it to” → receipts@spentr.app, then Create filter.

Outlook

  1. Open Outlook on the web → Settings (gear) → Mail → Rules.
  2. Choose “Add new rule” and name it “Receipts”.
  3. Add a condition, such as the subject including “receipt”.
  4. Add the action “Forward to” and enter receipts@spentr.app.
  5. Save the rule.

Apple Mail and iCloud

  1. Sign in at icloud.com → Mail → Settings (gear) → Rules.
  2. Choose “Add a Rule”.
  3. Match the messages you want, by sender or subject.
  4. Set “Then forward to” and enter receipts@spentr.app.
  5. Choose Done.

Keep rules narrow. Forwarding every email sends newsletters and personal mail along with your receipts.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a limit on forwarded receipts?

On Free, forwarded receipts and photo scans share one allowance of 10 a month. Pro and Business are unlimited, and Business gets priority processing.

A forwarded receipt didn’t show up. What should I check?

Make sure you sent it from your sign-in email or an allowed sender, and that the email contains the receipt itself rather than only a link. If it still doesn’t appear, contact support@zioty.io.

Can I forward receipts for more than one business?

Yes. Forwarded receipts are filed under your default business; open the expense to change its business if it belongs elsewhere.

Still stuck? Email support@zioty.io and we’ll help.
