How to connect email accounts to WellyBox?



Connecting your email accounts to WellyBox is not just a simple integration; it's the first step towards organizing and efficiently managing your receipts. By doing so, especially with Gmail, Office 365 and IMAP, WellyBox automatically sifts through your emails, identifying and collecting receipts, invoices, and bills without any manual intervention.

This seamless process ensures that all your important documents are captured and stored in one place, making management a breeze.

But what truly happens after the connection? Let's break it down:


Automatic collection: Once Gmail, Office 365 or IMAP is connected, WellyBox gets to work right away. It scans your emails, intelligently identifies relevant documents, and starts collecting them.
Organized Storage: Post-collection, these documents are neatly organized within WellyBox. This means no more sifting through endless email threads to find that one invoice.
Easy Access & Management: With everything in one place, you can easily view, manage, or export these documents as per your requirements. We also extract the data of each receipt, and you have the option to edit the information.

Now, let's walk you through the process:

Connect your first email account:



Open your WellyBox account.
Click on "Email Accounts" in the left sidebar or menu.
Click on "Create email account" or press the + sign on the top right.
Choose from one of the available options. (Note: If you select Gmail or Office 365, remember that the automatic collection will kick in immediately.)
Input your credentials.
Click "Continue".
You're done.

How to create a dedicated forwarding address in WellyBox (and what is it)?



The dedicated email forward address feature provided by WellyBox offers you a unique email address to which you and your suppliers can forward receipts. This address is not a typical inbox that you can log into; rather, it acts as a direct channel: anything sent to this address is automatically uploaded to your WellyBox account. This ensures that only relevant receipts and documents are gathered in your account.

Create a dedicated forwarding address for WellyBox:
Open your WellyBox account.
Click on "Email Accounts" in the left sidebar or menu.
Click on the + sign at the top right.
Select the "Forwarding address" option.
A pop-up box will appear.
Input your dedicated email address (e.g., example@wellybox.app).

With just a few clicks, your email forwarding address is ready.

Extending Sync Period in WellyBox

Open your WellyBox account.
Navigate to "Email Accounts" in the left sidebar or menu.
