Stop manually forwarding receipts to Pleo. Expensent automatically detects invoice emails in your inbox and forwards them to forward@fetch.pleo.io for automatic expense matching. Set it up once in 5 minutes, and never forward a receipt manually again.

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 receipts still require manual forwarding to forward@fetch.pleo.io:

•Each email receipt must be forwarded to forward@fetch.pleo.io manually
•Missing receipts block expense reconciliation and compliance
•Finance teams waste time chasing employees for documentation
•Pleo Fetch may not catch every receipt in your inbox

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 invoice emails and shows what needs to happen next. Forward with one click, or set up auto-forwarding — next time that invoice comes in, it’s handled automatically.

What is Pleo Fetch?

Pleo Fetch is a feature that can auto-scan your connected inbox for receipts. Expensent complements Fetch by proactively forwarding receipts to forward@fetch.pleo.io, ensuring every receipt reaches Pleo even if Fetch misses it.

How does Pleo match forwarded receipts to expenses?

Pleo auto-matches forwarded receipts to card expenses using transaction details. When Expensent forwards receipts to forward@fetch.pleo.io, Pleo matches them with your Pleo card transactions.

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 invoice emails from any vendor—SaaS subscriptions (AWS, GCP, Vercel), travel (airlines, hotels), restaurants, office supplies, and more. It forwards the email along with its PDF, JPG, and PNG attachments.

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.

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.
