Published December 1, 2024 · Updated June 24, 2026

Reduce manual receipt forwarding to Pleo. Expensent identifies likely invoice and receipt emails in your inbox, then helps you route selected or rule-approved messages to forward@fetch.pleo.io for Pleo to match or place in Receipt Inbox according to its rules.

This page focuses on the Pleo receipt handoff: which destination to use, what Pleo does after forward@fetch.pleo.io receives the email, and where Expensent adds review before forwarding.

The Manual Forwarding Problem

Pleo's expense management is powerful, but email-heavy receipt workflows can still leave manual routing work:

  • •Some receipt emails may still need to be forwarded to forward@fetch.pleo.io from the work email linked to Pleo
  • •Missing receipts block expense reconciliation and compliance
  • •Finance teams waste time chasing employees for documentation
  • •Pleo Fetch can be affected by provider restrictions, one-work-email setup, and uncertain receipt matches

Automatic Pleo Email Forwarding with Expensent

Expensent finds likely invoice and receipt emails in your inbox and shows what needs to happen next — ready to forward, needs a download, needs review, or false positive. Forward to forward@fetch.pleo.io with one click, or set up auto-forwarding so the next time this invoice comes in, it goes straight to Pleo.

  • Pleo routing: Review receipts by next action before forwarding them to Pleo
  • Complements Fetch: Adds a review and routing layer for receipt emails Fetch does not attach automatically
  • 40,000+ companies: Pleo says more than 40,000 companies across Europe use its spend platform
  • Pleo review: Forward selected receipts now, or create a rule from the reviewed email pattern for future arrivals
  • Pleo paper backup: Capture paper receipts with the phone scanner when the source document never arrived by email
  • Pleo controls: Use CCs, notes, attachment filters, zero-dollar skips, and sender blocks before forwarding

How Pleo Receipt Email Forwarding Works

Pleo allows users to forward email receipts to forward@fetch.pleo.io. When receipts are sent to this address:

  • •Pleo can add matched receipts to the right card expense
  • •Works alongside Pleo Fetch and its private Receipt Inbox flow
  • •Pleo says 40,000+ companies across Europe use its platform
  • •Pleo also supports receipt pictures in the mobile app

Pro tip: Use Expensent for email-heavy receipt routing and the Pleo mobile app for paper receipts, then review exceptions in Pleo.

Pleo Receipt Forwarding FAQ

How do I automatically forward receipts to Pleo?
Connect your email to Expensent and set forward@fetch.pleo.io as your forwarding destination. Expensent finds likely invoice and receipt emails and shows what needs to happen next. Forward with one click, or set up auto-forwarding — next time that invoice pattern comes in, it’s handled automatically.
What is Pleo Fetch?
Pleo Fetch scans a connected work email account and can add matched receipts to Pleo. Expensent complements Fetch by identifying likely receipt emails and helping route selected or rule-approved messages to forward@fetch.pleo.io.
How does Pleo match forwarded receipts to expenses?
Pleo can match forwarded receipts to card expenses using transaction details such as amount, currency, date, and receipt wording. When Expensent forwards a receipt email, Pleo handles the match or Receipt Inbox outcome.
Can I also use the Pleo mobile app for receipts?
Yes! Pleo supports photo capture via its mobile app for in-person purchases. Expensent handles the email receipts that arrive in your inbox, while you can still use the Pleo app for paper receipts.
What types of receipts does Expensent detect?
Expensent uses AI to detect likely invoice and receipt emails across many vendor patterns, including SaaS subscriptions, travel, restaurants, office supplies, and more. It can forward supported PDF, JPG, and PNG attachments when they are available.
Is my email data secure?
Expensent uses OAuth-based mailbox connections where supported, so you do not share your email password with Expensent. The pipeline starts with metadata-first prefiltering, then analyzes likely invoice candidates for review and forwarding.

Get Started

How Inbox-to-Accounting Email Workflows Work

Expensent connects to your email inbox and uses AI to surface likely invoice and receipt emails. Each document is grouped by what needs to happen next: ready to forward with a PDF attachment, needs a download from the vendor portal, needs your review, or not an invoice. You review the queue and decide what happens next.

Direct Forwarding Where Compatible

For destinations that accept the Expensent-generated message, forward a selected document with one click or create a rule from a reviewed sender and subject pattern. When a tool requires a stricter subject or body format, use the review and handoff path stated on its integration page.

Works With Many Accounting Platforms

Use direct delivery with compatible destinations such as QuickBooks Online, Xero, Expensify, FreshBooks, Ramp, Brex, BILL, Dext, SAP Concur, Wave, Zoho Expense, Hubdoc, Shoeboxed, and others. For a stricter workflow such as Tallie's clean email format, prepare the evidence and complete the documented handoff. Each platform controls how receipts are received, processed, extracted, or matched.

Privacy and Security

Expensent uses OAuth authentication to connect to your inbox - your password is never shared. AI prefilters on email metadata only, so personal emails are filtered out without their content ever being read. You control which documents advance and where supported delivery goes.
