Forward receipts to receipts@ramp.com automatically
Stop manually forwarding receipts to Ramp. Expensent automatically detects invoice emails in your inbox and forwards them to receipts@ramp.com for automatic transaction matching with your Ramp corporate card. Set it up once in 5 minutes, and never forward a receipt manually again.
Ramp uses OCR technology to automatically match emailed receipts to corporate card transactions, supporting JPG, PNG, and PDF attachments. Expensent eliminates the manual step of forwarding each receipt individually—Expensent handles it automatically.
What is Ramp?
Ramp is a modern corporate card and expense management platform founded in 2019 and headquartered in New York City. Used by over 50,000 businesses—including well-known companies like Shopify, Discord, Figma, and Notion—Ramp combines corporate cards with AI-powered spend management software to help companies control expenses.
•Free corporate card & expense management — Ramp's base tier is free, including unlimited employee cards
•AI-powered receipt matching — OCR technology extracts vendor, amount, and date for automatic categorization with GL code assignment
•30+ accounting integrations — Syncs with QuickBooks, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Xero, Workday, Dynamics 365, and more
Ramp's receipt matching is powerful, but still requires you to manually forward each receipt to receipts@ramp.com:
•Each email receipt must be forwarded to receipts@ramp.com manually
•Missing receipts hold up expense reports and compliance
•Finance teams waste time chasing employees for documentation
•Transactions sit unmatched waiting for receipts
Cards get locked—Ramp can automatically lock corporate cards when receipts are overdue, disrupting employee spending
Prerequisites: Before You Forward Receipts
1.Authorize your email address in Ramp. Go to Settings > Personal Settings > Edit Profile > Integrations and add the email address you'll send receipts from. Emails from unauthorized addresses may not be processed.
2.File format requirements. Ramp accepts JPG, JPEG, PNG, and PDF attachments. Other formats are not processed.
3.Card transaction required for matching. Ramp matches receipts to existing card transactions. If there is no matching transaction, the receipt goes to unmatched items for manual review.

How Ramp Receipt Email Forwarding Works
Ramp allows users to forward email receipts to receipts@ramp.com. When receipts are sent to this address, Ramp's AI-powered OCR engine processes them:
•Automatic transaction matching — Ramp pairs receipts to corporate card transactions using vendor name, amount, and date extraction
•GL code assignment — Machine learning automatically categorizes expenses based on your company's predefined rules
•Supports JPG, JPEG, PNG, and PDF attachments
•You can add memos by including “Memo: [text]” in the email body
•According to Ramp, 95% of receipts are captured and matched on the same day
Pro tip: You can authorize additional email addresses to forward receipts in Settings → Personal Settings → Edit Profile → Integrations.
Supported File Formats & Limits
Accepted Formats
•JPG / JPEG — Image files
•PNG — Image files
•PDF — Document files
Not Processed
•HTML email body — Receipts as email content
•Other formats — DOC, XLS, etc.
Many vendors (airlines, SaaS subscriptions, online retailers) send receipts as HTML in the email body, not as file attachments. Ramp only processes file attachments.
Ramp Receipt Submission Methods
Ramp offers several ways to submit receipts beyond email forwarding:
Email to receipts@ramp.com — Forward receipt emails for OCR matching (what Expensent automates)
•SMS — Text receipt photos directly to Ramp
•Slack integration — Upload receipts via Slack
•Microsoft Teams — Submit receipts via Teams
•Mobile app — Scan or upload receipts directly from your phone
While Ramp offers many submission channels, email forwarding remains the primary method for digital receipts and invoices that arrive via email. None of these methods automatically capture receipts from your inbox—that's the gap Expensent fills.
