How-to

How do you forward invoices in by email?

Every InvoiceJet account gets a private email ingest address. To bring invoices in by email, forward them to that address, or set an auto-forward rule so invoices from a vendor go there on their own. Attachments are extracted automatically, one record per invoice, with no manual upload.

1. Find your ingest address

In your account settings there is a private address for email ingestion. It is unique to your account, so anything sent there lands in your workspace and nowhere else.

2. Forward an invoice

Forward any invoice email to that address. The attached PDF, JPEG, PNG, or HTML is picked up and extracted. A single PDF holding several invoices is split into one record each.

3. Auto-forward the regulars

For vendors who bill you every month, set a rule in your email client to auto-forward their invoices to the ingest address. After that, those invoices capture themselves.

4. Check the results

Each forwarded invoice shows up extracted, with a confidence level on every field and its source cited on the document. Clean ones auto-verify; the rest wait in the verify queue.

Common questions

Can my vendors send invoices straight to the address?

Yes. The ingest address accepts invoices from anyone you share it with, so a vendor can email invoices directly and they capture automatically.

What file types can be forwarded?

PDF, JPEG, PNG, or HTML, up to 15 MB. Scans and phone photos work too, through an OCR fallback.
