Bills arrive by email. They file themselves.

Forward a bill to your KhataPilot address, connect Gmail or IMAP, or drop the files in. Every attachment is read by AI and lined up for review.

WHAT COMES IN BY EMAIL

Bills, statements and the mail around them. All read.

Suppliers' invoices, card and bank statements, forwarded receipts - whatever lands in the mailbox is read the same way an upload is.

  • Your own forwarding address

    One address per workspace. Forward bills to it or ask suppliers to send them there. Rotate it any time.

  • Gmail or IMAP mailbox

    Connect Gmail with read-only access, or an IMAP mailbox with an app password encrypted before storage.

  • Bank statements too

    Bank and card statements sent by email are read into transactions and matched against your books.

  • AI reads every bill

    Vendor, GSTIN, invoice number, line items and GST are read from each bill for you to check and confirm.

  • Duplicates flagged

    A bill you already hold is set aside, and one that only looks similar is flagged as a possible duplicate.

  • Recent email log

    Your latest messages, forwarded or scanned, and what became of each. Anything not filed says why.

SEE IT IN ACTION

Forward one bill. Connect the rest.

HOW IT WORKS

From an inbox to your books.

  1. Every workspace gets its own intake address. Forward a bill to it, or give it to the suppliers who bill you.

    Your forwarding address
    • meraki-3f9c2a@intake.khatapilot.comCopied
    • Fwd: Freight bill · Blue Dart ExpressBeing processed
    • BLUEDART-INV-33461.pdfFiled

    Share the address once; every forward lands in review.

  2. Sign in with Google or add any IMAP mailbox. Access is read-only and limited to bills; an owner approves it first.

    • Read-only access, bills onlyAwaiting approval
    • Approved by Priya (owner)Approved

    Gmail or any IMAP mailbox. An owner approves it before the first scan.

  3. The first scan looks back 90 days and picks out mail with bills or statements attached. Mail without attachments is skipped.

    Mail without attachments is skipped.

  4. Only mail from your allowed list is read. A new sender confirms their address with a one-time link; an owner or admin approves.

    Allowed senders
    • accounts@bluedart.comAllowed

    • 2 mails held from new sendersHeld

    The sender clicks a one-time link; an owner or admin approves.

  5. Each attachment is read by AI and waits in Needs review, with possible duplicates flagged before anything reaches your books.

    Every email bill waits here until you check it.

YOUR OWN ADDRESS

One address. Give it to anyone who bills you.

Every workspace gets its own intake address. Put it on your supplier forms, or forward a bill to it yourself - the attachment is read, the sender is checked, and the bill waits in review.

  • PDFs, photos and scans, straight from the attachment
  • Only senders on your allowed list get through
  • Bills and sales invoices told apart by your GSTIN and name

OR CONNECT YOUR MAILBOX

Connect Gmail or IMAP. Let it look back 90 days.

Connect the mailbox bills already come to. An owner approves the connection, then the first scan goes through the last 90 days and picks out mail with bills or statements attached. Mail without attachments is skipped.

  • Google sign-in, or IMAP for any other mailbox
  • Read-only access, limited to bills
  • An owner or admin approves before anything is read

SENDERS, DUPLICATES AND THE LOG

You decide who can send. KhataPilot keeps the record.

Mail only counts when its sender is on your list. Duplicates are flagged before they reach your books, and the recent-email log shows what arrived, what was filed and what was held.

TWO GATES, IN ORDER

Share the address. Only approved mail gets in.

Anyone can put any address on an email, so receiving mail grants nothing. A forwarded bill is filed only when its sender is approved and the message shows it really came from them.

  • The sender clicks a one-time link to prove they own the address
  • Our team then approves the sender before anything is filed
  • Held mail is filed after approval if it shows it really came from them
  • A connected mailbox is approved by our team before its first scan

GOOD QUESTIONS. CLEAR ANSWERS.

About
Email bill intake.

A few things to know before you start.

See all features
Do I have to forward every bill by hand?

No. Connect a Gmail or IMAP mailbox and KhataPilot checks its inbox about every 15 minutes for mail with attachments. The first pass looks back 90 days. Our team approves each new mailbox before anything is read.

What happens to mail from a sender I have not approved?

It is held, not filed, and the Recent email log says why. Add the sender: once they click our link and our team approves them, held mail that shows it really came from them is filed. Held mail is deleted after 90 days.

Which files can I send?

PDFs, photos, and CSV, Excel (.xlsx), OFX or QIF statement files. Up to 10 per email, 15 MB each and 30 MB in total. A bigger forwarded email is bounced back, so split large files across emails. Only attachments are read, not the email body.

Can KhataPilot change anything in my mailbox?

No. Gmail is connected with read-only access and IMAP folders are opened read-only, so nothing is sent, moved or marked as read. Disconnect any time and the stored credential is deleted.

Which mailboxes can I connect?

Gmail through Google sign-in, or any mailbox over IMAP. Access is read-only and limited to bills; an owner or admin approves the connection before the first scan.

What happens to mail from a sender I haven't allowed?

It is held, not filed. Add the sender to your allowed list - they confirm the address with a one-time link - and the held mail is filed once an owner or admin approves.
