I have suggestion for submissions above if any of them plan to release such service to put in user guides and tutorials: how to autoforward emails to emails of your projects' email :)
In Gmail that would be something like this:
(receipt OR invoice OR "payment confirmation" OR "order confirmation" OR "purchase receipt" OR "payment received" OR "transaction receipt" OR paid OR "your order" OR "order number" OR "thank you for your purchase" OR "your payment" OR txn OR transaction OR subtotal OR total OR VAT OR GST)
user will need to verify this email to be able to forward it to, so gmail and other clients will send emails like this:
So you can catch the email if it is from forwarding-noreply@gmail.com and it has email in subject or body then forward this link to that email (maybe need to think about more robust way) so user can verify that he has rights to forward emails to you.
This way it is one-time setup pain and all(most) receipts are directly forwarded to your service and user doesn't need to do it manually for every email receipt.
I just noticed this flaw and every time I saw yet new similar tool, it kept bugging me, so decided maybe I can make this post.

Thanks for the tip, @axrisi ! 🙌
Auto-forward rules? 100% agreed—chef’s kiss for real-world setups.
But this was a hackathon, my friend. We were in “just make it work” mode.
Manual forward it is. Simple, clear, demo-friendly.
Don’t be bugged… be like the email—just go with the flow 😂📤
(Also, if this were production, trust me—we’d be auto-forwarding like pros.)
haha, yes, absolutely, sorry if annoying :) just sharing thoughts
hey, thank you for this. I too thought there should be a more optimised way to do this, but in the middle of my finals I couldn’t dig very deep. This is helpful though, and I’ll try and make it work for my use case before the hackathon time ends
