Ability to forward my email receipts to LessAccounting; auto-convert to PDF and upload to my account
Most everything my business purchases is online, and I receive an email receipt/invoice. It's a pain in the ass to manage these electronic receipts and keep proper records -- I don't want to waste paper and print them and I don't want a folder on my computer full of misc emails saved as PDFs.
Ideally, these receipts are attached to a ledger entry in LessAccounting. However, it's very time-consuming to open the email invoice, save as PDF, and upload into LessAccounting.
So, here's the idea ... give my LessAccounting account a special email address where I can forward my e-receipts. I'll either forward them manually or set up forward rules. LessAccounting will automate the processing of these emails and convert to a PDF. They will be placed in some bucket in my account waiting for me to link them to a ledger expense. So, once a month I can log into LessAccounting, import my bank transactions and link each to a receipt that has already been uploaded.

Inappropriate?Love this idea Justin! Currently what I do is take a screen capture of the email and upload it to the expense.
I’m thankful

Inappropriate?Has this been implemented? It would be great to have a way to forward email receipts!
For now, I "Print to PDF" on my Mac, save it to the desktop, log into LA and upload it. So much easier if I could forward to my LA account.
