What a Gmail Receipt Scanner Actually Does
Reads receipt emails, extracts vendor + date + total + tax, writes rows to your Google Sheet. Nightly. No forwarding. No clicking.
What separates a good scanner from a bad one
Amazon, Uber, SaaS renewals, airline e-tickets, hotel folios, Stripe + PayPal — not just the obvious ones.
Even when the receipt is buried in marketing copy or split across multiple emails.
Schedule C (US) or T2125 (Canada) — useful at tax time, not just collected.
ExpenseBot does all three. CASA Tier 2 certified, reads only receipt emails, stores everything in your Google Drive — never on a vendor's server.

"The Gmail auto-scan is the standout feature. It finds receipts in my inbox without forwarding rules or manual uploads, which was exactly the problem I was trying to solve when I started building my own tool. Everything stays in Google Sheets inside my own Google Drive, so there's no new system to learn."
— Amber R., Commission Sales Associate (★★★★★ on G2)
"I am recovering Apple receipts from past years for taxes. This is an impossible task but now it will be easy peasy."

What Makes Gmail Auto-Scan Different
Overnight Auto-Scan
Connect your Gmail once. Every night, AI scans your inbox and finds all receipts automatically. No forwarding rules. No manual searching. Just wake up to organized expenses.
Finds Everything
Amazon orders, Uber rides, airline tickets, hotel bookings, SaaS subscriptions, vendor invoices, PDF attachments, receipts in email body — AI recognizes hundreds of receipt formats.
Privacy First
AI only reads receipt emails. Your personal emails stay private. All data stored in YOUR Google Drive, not on our servers. CASA Tier 2 certified.
Zero Configuration
No forwarding rules to set up. No email filters to configure. Just connect Gmail and it works. Works with personal Gmail or corporate Google Workspace.
Automatically Find Every Amazon Business Purchase
Amazon sends order confirmation emails for every purchase. ExpenseBot scans your Gmail and finds all Amazon order confirmations automatically — going back as far as your Gmail history.
Each receipt is extracted with the order date, item description, amount, and payment method. Works for Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, Amazon.co.uk, and Amazon Business.
No need to log into Amazon and download order history reports. No need to save receipts manually. If Amazon emailed you a confirmation, ExpenseBot finds it. Years behind? See how to scan old Gmail for receipts and recover prior-year deductions.
Other Popular Email Receipt Sources ExpenseBot Auto-Detects
Every inbox, one place: work + personal Gmail
Real receipts don't live in one inbox. The Amazon order went to your personal Gmail, the SaaS invoice hit your work address, and the client-dinner confirmation is somewhere in a second business account. ExpenseBot lets you scan multiple Gmail accounts for receipts at once — connect two Gmail accounts (or three), and every one gets the same treatment.
Each connected account is scanned historically — back as far as that inbox goes — and then nightly going forward, exactly like your primary Gmail. So when you combine business and personal Gmail receipts, nothing slips through: the work invoices and the personal-card purchases you expensed are all captured, all in one place.
Every account's receipts land in the same Google Sheet, tagged by their source inbox — so a multiple-inbox receipt scanner still gives you one clean, separable ledger. Two businesses stay distinguishable; business and personal stay untangled at tax time.
1 connected Gmail inbox + 2 forwarding aliases.
Up to 3 connected Gmail accounts + 6 forwarding aliases — each scanned historically and nightly.
