BILL (formerly Bill.com) is a leading accounts payable and receivable platform used by businesses of all sizes. With their email inbox feature, you can forward invoices to a unique address like [company]_invoices@bill.com for automatic processing. But in the chaos of running a business, remembering to forward every invoice is a challenge.

This page focuses on the BILL invoice handoff: which destination to use, what BILL does after [company]_invoices@bill.com receives the email, and where Expensent adds review before forwarding.

The Problem

BILL's email inbox is powerful, but manual forwarding creates bottlenecks:

•Invoices arrive via email and need to be forwarded manually
•AP teams spend time on data entry instead of strategy
•Invoices sit in inboxes, delaying payment processing
•Risk of missing early payment discounts or incurring late fees

The Solution: Expensent

Expensent finds every invoice in your inbox and shows what needs to happen next — ready to forward, needs a download, or needs review. Forward to your BILL inbox with one click, or set up auto-forwarding so the next time this invoice comes in, it goes straight to BILL.

Vendor recognition: AI-powered detection works with any vendor—not limited to a fixed list
BILL routing: Review invoices by next action before forwarding them to BILL
Faster processing: Get invoices into your AP workflow without delay

Paper receipt capture: Built-in mobile camera scanner turns paper receipts into forwarded documents
BILL controls: Use CCs, notes, attachment filters, zero-dollar skips, and sender blocks before forwarding

How Automatic Invoice Forwarding Works

Expensent connects to your email inbox and uses AI to detect every invoice and receipt you receive. Each invoice 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 see all your invoices in one place and decide what happens next.

One-Click Forwarding and Auto-Forwarding Rules

Forward any invoice to your accounting software with one click. Or create an auto-forwarding rule so the next time that invoice arrives, it goes straight to your destination automatically. Rules are created from existing emails with one click — no manual configuration of sender patterns or subject filters required.

Works With Every Major Accounting Platform

Forward receipts to QuickBooks Online, Xero, Expensify, FreshBooks, Ramp, Brex, BILL, Dext, SAP Concur, Wave, Zoho Expense, Hubdoc, Emburse, Pleo, Rydoo, Divvy, Revolut Business, or any custom email address. Each platform has its own forwarding email where receipts are processed, extracted, and matched to transactions.

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 invoices are forwarded and where they go.
