01 · Email-integrated
Your books, in your inbox.
Imprest reads the emails your business already gets — invoices, receipts, payment confirmations — and turns them into transactions. The email is the source document; the entry happens by default.
How it works
Three steps. No new workflow.
Step 01
Forward or connect
Forward bills and receipts to your unique Imprest inbox address. Or connect Gmail / Outlook once and Imprest watches for them automatically.
Step 02
Imprest reads them
The AI extracts vendor, date, amount, line items, and tax. It picks the right account and (where applicable) the right project / class / dimension.
Step 03
You approve
The draft sits in your inbox view. One keystroke posts it. The original email and attachment stay linked forever.
Supported types
What turns into what.
| Incoming | Drafted as |
|---|---|
| Vendor invoice email or PDF | Bill, with line items, due date, vendor matched |
| Receipt (photo or PDF) | Expense, with category and merchant matched |
| Stripe / PayPal payment notification | Payment recorded against the matching invoice |
| Customer "please send invoice" thread | Invoice draft addressed to that customer |
| Recurring vendor email (utilities, subs) | Bill or expense applied to existing rule |
| Bank deposit notification | Deposit categorized against matching payment |
The judgment Imprest reserves for you
AI-assisted, not AI-autonomous.
Imprest doesn't post to the ledger without your approval. Things that need your judgment stay drafts:
- Unfamiliar vendors are drafted, not posted. You confirm category and account once; the rule sticks.
- Ambiguous matches (e.g., a payment that could close two open invoices) get flagged in your review queue.
- Drafts you don't approve stay as drafts. Nothing posts silently.
