#Forward receipts

When you receive a receipt:

  1. Forward the email to your inbox address
  2. LUMA extracts the receipt automatically
  3. AI matches it to your transactions

That's it. No apps to open, no files to upload.

#Set up automatic forwarding

#Gmail

  1. Open Gmail Settings → Forwarding
  2. Add your LUMA inbox address
  3. Create a filter to auto-forward receipts

#Outlook

  1. Open Settings → Mail → Forwarding
  2. Enable forwarding to your LUMA inbox
  3. Or use rules to forward specific emails

#Other email providers

Most email providers support forwarding rules. Search for "auto forward" in your email settings.

#What gets extracted

From forwarded emails, LUMA extracts:

  • PDF attachments
  • Image attachments (receipts, photos)
  • Embedded receipt images

Plain text emails without attachments are processed but may have limited data.

#Tips

  • Forward receipts the same day for best matching
  • Include the original email (not just attachments) for more context
  • Works great alongside connected email for maximum capture
