How to Forward a Receipt

Once setup is complete, logging an online purchase is as simple as forwarding an email.

2. Forward it to: [email protected]
3. Wait for the confirmation.

Expected Result

Moneko will process the email, extract the transaction details, and log the expense in your selected Space. You will receive a phone notification when processing is complete.

Best Practices for Email Receipts

• Forward immediately: Forward receipts as soon as you receive them to keep your budget current.
• Check attachments: Ensure your invoices or receipts are in supported formats like PDF or Excel.
• Review extracted data: While Moneko AI is highly accurate, it’s a good habit to occasionally check the logged expenses for any specific details you might want to adjust.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

My Receipt Was Not Processed

Make sure you forwarded the email from an approved sender address. If the email address is not in your approved list, Moneko will ignore it for security reasons.

I Cannot Find the Logged Expense

Check your default Space and Wallet settings in the Email Receipt Capture menu. The expense may have been logged to a different Space than you are currently viewing.

The Amount Is Incorrect

If an email contains multiple totals (e.g., a subtotal and a grand total), ensure the grand total is clearly visible. You can always edit the transaction details in Moneko if needed.
