If you receive bills via email from your suppliers, you can set up a rule in your email account that automatically forwards certain emails to your inbox address in Apron.
Follow these steps to create and activate the rule in (this one is for emails in Gmail domain. If you use a different email provider, please follow the guide from the official website):
Log in to your Gmail account.
Click on Settings, then See all settings
Click on Forwarding and POP/IMAP
Select Add a forwarding address and input your Apron's company direct email address into the pop-up window.
You can find and edit this address in Apron by going to Settings > Company details.
If Gmail sends a confirmation email to the forwarding address, you'll see it in your Apron inbox (under the Inbox section) as a PDF document. You can confirm auto-forwarding from there. The content of the message will look, more or less, like this:
[email protected] has requested to automatically forward mail to your email
address [email protected].
Confirmation code: 12345678910111
