Email Forwarding

Overview

The Email Forwarding destination automatically sends your collected invoices to any email address. This is useful for email-based accounting tools, forwarding to your accountant, or integration with services that accept documents via email.

Requirements

A valid email address to receive invoices

Setup

Configuring in Invoice Radar

Open Invoice Radar and go to Settings → Export
Click Add destination and select Email
Enter the recipient email address
Choose a start date:
- All invoices - Export everything in your collection
- From specific date - Only export invoices after the selected date
Enable the destination

How it works

When you export invoices via email:

Each invoice is sent as an email with the PDF attached
The email subject includes the vendor name and invoice ID
The email body contains invoice metadata (date, amount, etc.)

Use cases

Accountant forwarding - Automatically send invoices to your accountant's inbox
Email-based accounting - Services that import documents from email
Backup - Keep a copy of all invoices in a dedicated email folder
Team sharing - Forward invoices to a shared team inbox

Exporting invoices

Bulk export

Click Export Now in the Export settings to sync all unsynced invoices. Progress is shown in real-time.

Individual export

Open any invoice in the document details panel to see its export status and manually trigger an export.

Privacy note

Unlike other export destinations, email exports are sent through Invoice Radar's server:

Your invoices are forwarded through our email service
PDFs are not stored - they are forwarded immediately and discarded
We do not read or analyze invoice contents
This is necessary because sending emails requires a mail server

All other destinations (sevdesk, Lexware, Paperless-ngx, Folder, Webhook, etc.) send data directly from your device to the service.

Troubleshooting

Emails not arriving

Check your spam/junk folder
Verify the email address is correct
Some email providers may block automated emails

Delayed delivery

Email delivery can take a few minutes
Check the export status in Invoice Radar for confirmation

Emails marked as spam

Add our sending address to your contacts or safe senders list
Check your email provider's spam settings

Security

Your recipient email address is encrypted and stored only on your device
Email connections use TLS encryption
PDFs are forwarded through our server but not stored
