1. Forward the Email

Forward any email containing expense details to your unique email forwarding address. This can include:

  • Emails with expense receipts as attachments (eg a PDF invoice from a vendor)

  • Emails where the expense details are included in the body (eg an email Uber receipt)

💡Pro Tip

By including $ at the start of the email body - any message included after the symbol will display in the Details field once processing is complete. This can be helpful to include notes about the nature of the expense or guidance on how to code it.

2. Wait for Processing

Allow up to 90 seconds for the email to be analyzed and the associated expense details to be processed. During this time, Synced will extract the relevant information from the email or its attachments.

3. Check Your Inbox

Once the processing is complete, the expense record will appear in your Synced Inbox. From there, you can review and manage the expense as needed.

Tips for Best Results

  • Ensure the email subject and content are relevant to the expense to improve processing accuracy.

  • Avoid forwarding emails with multiple unrelated attachments.
