Forward receipts

When you receive a receipt:

  1. Forward the email to your inbox address
  2. Midday extracts the receipt automatically
  3. AI matches it to your transactions

That's it. No apps to open, no files to upload.

Set up automatic forwarding

Gmail

  1. Open Gmail Settings → Forwarding
  2. Add your Midday inbox address
  3. Create a filter to auto-forward receipts

Outlook

  1. Open Settings → Mail → Forwarding
  2. Enable forwarding to your Midday inbox
  3. Or use rules to forward specific emails

Other email providers

Most email providers support forwarding rules. Search for "auto forward" in your email settings.

What gets extracted

From forwarded emails, Midday extracts:

  • PDF attachments
  • Image attachments (receipts, photos)
  • Embedded receipt images

Plain text emails without attachments are processed but may have limited data.

Tips

  • Forward receipts the same day for best matching
  • Include the original email (not just attachments) for more context
  • Works great alongside connected email for maximum capture
