Explore ongoing email receipt extractionBefore you connect your inbox
- How far back can I extract receipts?
- Choose the date range you need, including previous years. Receiptor can only process messages that are still available through the connected mailbox; it cannot recover deleted email that the provider no longer makes available.
- Can I find receipts for a past tax year?
- Yes. Choose the start and end dates for that tax year. Receiptor scans the messages still available through the connected mailbox, then lets you review and export the recovered documents.
- Can I scan Gmail and Outlook?
- Yes. Historical extraction supports connected Gmail, Outlook, Microsoft 365, and IMAP sources. Select the email account and date range for each extraction.
- Is this included in ongoing monitoring?
- Historical extraction is a separate quoted workflow. Review the cost for your selected scan before starting. Ongoing monitoring, exports, and accounting integrations have their own access requirements.
- Can I save the quote and run it later?
- Yes. You can save quotes as drafts, revisit them, and track submitted extractions and their progress.
- What can I do with the recovered receipts?
- Review the extracted documents and download CSV, PDF, or ZIP exports. You can also use a configured Xero or QuickBooks integration with the required plan access.
