Send receipts from Gmail to Fyle
Start by checking the receipt email address and sender requirements in your Fyle account. You can forward a receipt from Gmail manually. Receiptor AI can also collect documents and forward them by email through an automation, provided Fyle accepts the sender and attachments. Test delivery before relying on the rule.
Check Fyle's receipt delivery requirements
This guide covers email delivery to Fyle, not a native accounting integration. Confirm that receipts@fyle.io is the current address for your account and check whether Fyle requires the sending address to be verified. Other collection methods may also be available in Fyle.
The manual way to send receipts from your Gmail to Fyle
- Confirm your Gmail address is verified in Fyle.
- Open the receipt in Gmail.
- Forward it to receipts@fyle.io.
- Fyle reads it and adds it to your account.
Manual forwarding works for both new and older emails. You still need to locate each receipt and confirm that Fyle received it. For recurring collection, consider an automation after testing the destination requirements.
How to send receipts from your Gmail to Fyle automatically with Receiptor AI
Connect your inbox, then configure a forwarding automation. Check the rule's scope, destination and delivery requirements before enabling it.
Step 1: Connect your Gmail to Receiptor AI
- In Receiptor AI, open Sources > Email Accounts.
- Click Add Inbox.
- Choose Gmail and sign in on the login page that opens.
- Approve the access Receiptor AI requests. It is read-only: it can find and read your receipts and invoices, but never send or change your mail.
- Back on the dashboard, confirm Gmail shows as Connected. Turn on Continuous Monitoring so new receipts are caught automatically, and optionally run a Retroactive Extraction to pull in receipts and invoices already in your Gmail.
Step 2: Create the automation
- Use Fyle's receipt address, receipts@fyle.io (the same for every user).
- Go to Agent > Automations in Receiptor AI.
- Describe the rule in plain English: Send all new documents to receipts@fyle.io.
- Click Generate Rule, then Save.
Automatic forwarding requires a plan that includes this feature. Send a test receipt and confirm it appears in the correct Fyle account; email delivery alone does not prove that the destination accepted or processed it.
When the manual method is enough
If you only handle a handful of receipts a month and never miss one, manual forwarding to receipts@fyle.io is fine. The automation pays off once volume or recurring subscriptions make remembering to forward unreliable.
