If you're anything like me, the number in the little red dot next to your receipts tab gets a little too high sometimes, which presents a problem: how do I make that number lower so our bookkeeper isn't sad at month-end close while still putting in a minimum of effort because I'm lazy?

Receipt Bin is a game-changer for this – if you're not familiar with it yet please go read about it, I'll wait... (the pitch: throw all your receipts in here and then worry about attaching them to transactions later!)

My one gripe with it is that bringing in a whole inbox-ful of automatically generated receipts was always a task-and-a-half due to having to forward them one.. by one... by one..... as in the following dramatic reenactment:

No more! This annoyed me enough that I fixed it:

Now, any .eml attachments sent to your Receipt Bin inbox will be converted to PDF receipts the same way individual emails are.

In Gmail you can do this by selecting multiple emails, right-clicking, and clicking "Forward as attachment".

Most of the time they're even automatically matched to transactions! This means I can spend less of my time shuffling receipts around and more time spending moneydoing things that actually benefit Hack Clubbers.

I hope this speeds up your day too! Thanks for reading and happy HCBing :-D
