Apron offers the convenience of uploading files via WhatsApp. This feature is particularly useful for company employees who do not want to install additional apps.
To set up document submission via WhatsApp, follow these steps:
Add the phone number you have registered with your WhatsApp account to your user profile in Apron. Click on your profile icon (visible in the bottom-left corner of the screen in the desktop version of Apron) and go to ‘Personal settings’. Access the ‘Your details’ section and click on ‘Edit’ to add your phone number.
You can also add a phone number when inviting users to Apron.
To add or edit a phone number for a previously added user, go to the Settings → Members section.
Open a conversation with the Apron WhatsApp business account. You can do so via this link or by searching for our phone number (+447874467157).
You can now send documents to this channel, and they will appear in your Apron Inbox.
When uploading pictures via WhatsApp, the caption will appear as the description in Apron. If the submitter indicates the receipt is a personal expense in the caption, Apron will automatically mark it as such.
Note - you can only use WhatsApp submission if you have a single company in Apron. If you have access to more than one company in Apron, you should download our mobile app from Google Play or the App Store.
