Auto-forward with a Gmail filter

If you do not want to connect your inbox but still want hands-off capture, set up a Gmail filter that auto-forwards receipt-like emails to your QuietBill address.

Steps

  1. In Gmail, open Settings → Filters and Blocked Addresses → Create a new filter.
  2. In the search box, use terms that match receipts, for example: subject:(receipt OR invoice OR subscription OR renewal OR "payment received")
  3. Click Create filter.
  4. Choose Forward it to and add your workspace address (inbox+yourtoken@receipts.quietbill.com). Gmail requires you to verify the forwarding address once.
  5. Apply.

From then on, matching receipts flow into QuietBill automatically.

Keep the filter reasonably specific. A filter that forwards your entire inbox will send a lot of non-receipts, which we simply ignore, but it wastes your daily parse allowance. Outlook has an equivalent “Rules” feature.
