Attachment Inbox

Get a full picture of your finances by adding images and files to your transactions! Attachment inbox lets you email photos, bills, and invoices to your PocketSmith account and attach them to your transactions.

Attachment Inbox overview

Adding attachments to your transactions can be a helpful way to include important information, reminders or memories. PocketSmith lets you send PDF, JPG, or PNG files straight to your own secure PocketSmith inbox. You can then attach these files to transactions. When you email an attachment to PocketSmith, it will appear in your inbox tray - which is accessible from any transaction on the Transactions page. 

As long as your attachment is in either PDF, JPG, or PNG format, it's good to go! Once you've uploaded an attachment to a transaction, this transaction will also show on your Timeline

Here are some examples of useful attachments you might like to add to your transactions:

• 📃  Invoice 
• 📸  Photo 
• 📎  Receipt 
• 💸  Bill 
• 💊  Prescription
• 💰  Payslip

Sending files and attaching them to transactions

Sending files to your secure email

It's easy to send image files (JPG or PNG) to your PocketSmith account, on-the-go from your Smartphone! Just take a snap with your camera and email it straight to your secure PocketSmith email address (you would have received this email address when first setting up Attachment Inbox). 

In fact, you can send PDF files to this email address too! This can be useful if you'd like to attach important documents to a transaction.

As long as you have saved the secure email address to your email contacts or address book with an easy-to-remember name, you'll be able to quickly send it straight to PocketSmith.
