Tallie accepts attached receipt images and forwarded online receipts at receipts@usetallie.com. Expensent can find current and historical receipt emails and keep uncertain messages visible for review. Tallie documents a blank body for attachment emails and an exact account name in the subject when a user belongs to several accounts. Expensent's current sending format adds its own summary body and subject, so the final Tallie submission should use Tallie's documented clean-email format. Tallie then creates the expense tile and handles OCR, card matching, reports, approvals, and export.

Tallie is a distinct product in the Emburse family. Its receipt address, identity rules, Purchases workflow, and matching behavior should not be assumed to apply to Emburse Professional, Nexonia, or other Emburse products.

The Inbox-to-Tallie Gap

Tallie provides a receipt destination, but the source inbox still needs a controlled intake process:

  • Receipts must be sent from an email address attached to the Tallie identity
  • Users connected to several Tallie accounts need an exact account name in the subject
  • Extra body text can become a second receipt instead of part of the intended expense
  • Broad or overlapping forwarding rules can create duplicates and extra review work

Prepare Proven Receipt Evidence for Tallie

Connect the mailbox where digital receipts arrive, use Expensent to find and review the evidence, then test one clean submission using Tallie's documented email format.

  • Inbox discovery: Find receipt emails that are still waiting to reach Tallie
  • Review before delivery: Keep unclear messages and non-receipt attachments out of Purchases
  • Historical catch-up: Find older receipt emails that were missed during the original expense cycle
  • Clean Tallie handoff: Send the supported evidence from a verified address with the body and subject Tallie documents

What Tallie Does After Delivery

Tallie turns a supported emailed receipt into an expense tile on Purchases and scans for merchant, date, and amount before the expense moves through the company workflow.

  • The current Tallie help center publishes receipts@usetallie.com for receipt email submission
  • An alternate sending address must be added to the Tallie identity and verified first
  • PDF, JPG, and PNG are the documented receipt image formats
  • Users with more than one Tallie account can place the exact account name in the subject
  • A blank or unmatched subject can send the receipt to every connected Tallie account
  • Exact card matches can auto-merge; close matches can show Possible Duplicate; other cases can be merged manually

Test the complete account path: Send one clean receipt from the verified identity, confirm the expected Tallie account and expense tile, then inspect the extracted fields before repeating the workflow.

Set Up the Tallie Email Workflow

1

Confirm the Tallie sending identity

Use an address already attached to the Tallie identity, or add and verify the source address first.

2

Choose the target Tallie account

If the identity belongs to several accounts, copy the exact account name for the email subject.

3

Find and review one receipt

Use Expensent to locate the source message and confirm that it contains the intended evidence.

4

Use Tallie's clean submission format

Send one supported attachment or online receipt from the verified address, leave an attachment-email body blank, and confirm Purchases.

Tallie Receipt Email FAQ

What is the current Tallie receipt email address?
Tallie currently documents receipts@usetallie.com for attached receipt images and forwarded online receipts.
Which sender address can email a receipt to Tallie?
Use an email address attached to the Tallie identity. Tallie lets a user add another address and requires that address to be verified.
How do I choose a Tallie account when I belong to several?
Put the exact account name from Identity Details in the subject. Tallie says a blank or unmatched subject uploads the receipt to every connected account.
Why did Tallie create an extra receipt?
Tallie recommends leaving the email body blank because extra body text can appear as another receipt. Check signatures and added forwarding text.
Is this a native Tallie API integration?
No. Expensent finds and reviews inbox documents. Its current outgoing message uses an Expensent subject and summary body, which is not the clean envelope Tallie documents for attachment email and multi-account routing. Use Tallie's documented submission format for the final handoff. Tallie owns OCR, expense tiles, card matching, reports, approvals, and exports.

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.
