Forward receipts to receipts@ramp.com automatically

Route receipt and invoice emails to Ramp without building brittle mailbox filters. Expensent identifies likely invoice emails in your inbox and helps send the right ones to receipts@ramp.com for Ramp card receipt matching, with one-click forwarding and rules for recurring sender-and-subject patterns.
Ramp can match receipts sent from authorized addresses to posted Ramp card transactions, and its help center lists JPG, JPEG, PNG, and PDF as supported receipt formats. Expensent helps close the step before that: finding email-heavy receipts and routing eligible ones to the correct Ramp path.
What is Ramp?
Ramp is a modern corporate card and expense management platform headquartered in New York City. Ramp currently says 70,000+ businesses use its platform, and its customer pages feature companies including Shopify 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 — Ramp can match, verify, and suggest accounting details for receipts based on transaction and receipt data
- •Plan-dependent accounting integrations — Ramp lists QuickBooks Online and Xero on Free, more ERP integrations on Plus, and additional enterprise integrations on Enterprise
- •Bill pay, travel & procurement — Full-platform spend management beyond just expense reports
The Manual Forwarding Problem
Ramp has strong native receipt workflows, but email-heavy teams still need receipts to reach the right Ramp path:
- •Card receipts, reimbursements, and vendor invoices use different Ramp destinations
- •Forwarding only works reliably when the sender is authorized and the charge has posted
- •Older inbox receipts and HTML-only receipt emails can still need review or manual handling
- •Finance teams waste time chasing employees for documentation
- Cards get locked—where configured, Ramp can lock cards when required receipts or items are not submitted on time
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 currently lists JPG, JPEG, PNG, and PDF as supported receipt file types, with upload-size and PDF page limits.
- 3.Card transaction required for matching. Ramp matches receipts to posted card transactions. If the charge has not posted or the receipt does not satisfy matching checks, manual review or assignment may be needed.

How Ramp Receipt Email Forwarding Works
Ramp allows users to forward email receipts to receipts@ramp.com. When card receipts are sent to this address from an authorized sender, Ramp can process them:
- •Automatic transaction matching — Ramp pairs receipts to Ramp card transactions when matching checks are satisfied
- •Accounting suggestions — Ramp can predict or suggest accounting categories depending on configuration and workflow
- •Supports JPG, JPEG, PNG, and PDF receipt files
- •You can add memos by including “Memo: [text]” in the email body
Pro tip:You can authorize additional email addresses to forward receipts in Settings → Personal Settings → Edit Profile → Integrations.
