Getting invoices out of your inbox: connect Gmail or Outlook

Where do most purchase invoices arrive? In your inbox. And that's where they often get stuck: as an attachment in an email that scrolls down, until you've lost them by quarter-end. Every missed invoice is VAT you don't reclaim.

There's an easier way: connect your inbox to your admin.

The problem: invoices disappear in your inbox

  • Invoices arrive as an attachment, among all your other mail.
  • You have to save and retype them by hand.
  • At quarter-end you spend hours searching your inbox.
  • You always miss a few β€” and so miss VAT.

The fix: connect Gmail or Outlook

By connecting your inbox, invoices from your email land in your admin automatically. You no longer have to save them separately. So you don't lose an attachment and everything is in one place.

How it works in BoekBrug

In BoekBrug you connect your Gmail or Outlook. Invoices you receive by email then come into your admin, ready to confirm. Together with scanning paper receipts, your purchase invoices are all together β€” whether they arrive on paper or in your inbox.

You stay in control: you confirm what comes in, and your data stays yours (export or delete anytime, GDPR-proof).
