Bills

Email your bills in

You can now email bills into Holyheld. Each member who adds bills has a private forwarding address for their company. Forward an invoice to it, or give the address to a vendor so they send invoices straight there, and a draft bill appears in your bills list under your name.

An email with an invoice PDF sent to the forwarding address, and the draft bill it created in Bills.

Get your address

  • Open Email bills. It is in the New Bill menu, below Create Bill Without Invoice.
  • Show my forwarding address reveals it, and Copy address copies it. The panel also shows when the address was created and when it last received an email.
  • Replace address if it has gone further than you meant. The old address stops accepting mail at once, without a bounce, so update any forwarding rules you set up for it.
  • Hide address when you are done.

What becomes a bill

  • PDFs only. Attach the bill as a PDF. Other files are ignored.
  • A draft for each bill Holyheld can read. A draft is added only when it can tell what the bill is for and how much it is.
  • The draft keeps the PDF as its invoice document, and shows the reported sender and the vendor name read from the PDF, both marked as unverified.
  • Failed sender checks. Mail whose sender fails verification is dropped and never becomes a bill.

Good to know

  • Nothing happens on its own. A bill that arrives by email never creates a vendor or sends a payment. Review every draft, including its vendor and payment details, before you pay it.
  • Share the address only with vendors you trust. Anyone who has it can send to it.
  • Each address belongs to one member and one company. You need permission to create bills to see and use it.
