How do I automatically forward receipts to Brex?

Connect your email to Expensent and set receipts@brex.com as your forwarding destination. Expensent finds invoice emails and categorizes them. Forward with one click, or set up auto-forwarding — next time that invoice comes in, it’s handled automatically.

What is the difference between receipts@brex.com and receipts+forwarding@brex.com?

receipts@brex.com is for standard receipt forwarding. receipts+forwarding@brex.com is specifically designed for Gmail auto-forwarding setup. Expensent uses receipts@brex.com and sends emails on your behalf, so no Gmail verification is needed.

How does Brex match receipts to transactions?

Brex auto-matches receipts to card transactions by comparing date, amount, and merchant name. At least 2 of these 3 fields must match for automatic matching. Expensent ensures your receipts arrive promptly for the best match rate.

What file formats does Brex accept for receipts?

Brex supports PDF, JPG, PNG, and XML attachments. Expensent forwards the original email with all attachments intact, so Brex receives receipts in their original format.

Can I add a memo when forwarding receipts to Brex?

Yes! Brex supports adding memos by including "Memo: [your text]" in the email body. When Expensent forwards your receipts, the original email content is preserved.

Is my email data secure?

Absolutely. We use OAuth 2.0 authentication (we never see your password), bank-level encryption. AI prefilters on email metadata only—personal emails are filtered out without their content ever being read.

Automatic Brex Receipt Forwarding

Forward receipts to receipts@brex.com automatically

Stop manually forwarding receipts to Brex. Expensent detects invoice emails in your inbox and forwards them to receipts@brex.com for automatic transaction matching. Set it up once in 5 minutes, and never forward a receipt manually again.

The Manual Forwarding Problem

Brex auto-matches receipts to card transactions, but still requires you to forward each receipt to receipts@brex.com:

•Each email receipt must be forwarded to receipts@brex.com manually
•Missing receipts block expense reconciliation and compliance
•Finance teams waste time chasing employees for documentation
•Transactions sit unmatched waiting for receipt attachments
