Do you want to receive invoices by email through Apix? Here you can find a list of what the invoice sender needs to consider when sending invoices by email.

When sending invoices using email the following things should be observed:

• The recipient (“To:”) address must not contain any other address. The use of “CC:” and “BCC:” addresses is allowed.
• The “Subject:” should contain the word “Invoice” and the invoice number. This is not mandatory, but recommended.
• The actual invoice must be in the email as an attachment and it must be a PDF file. The email body text is not processed.
• The email must contain only one PDF file, which has only one invoice. Other types of attachments are included to the invoice as attachments.
