You can connect your e-mail directly to Kontolink, so Kontolink can fetch all of your invoices. If you don’t already have a dedicated e-mail for all your documents and invoices, this guide will help you create one, and get it up and running for Kontolink.
What is a document e-mail?
Attachment email, Invoice email, Supplier email… There are many ways to refer to the infamous mail.
In this article, we are using “Document e-mail” – in other words, an e-mail containing all your documents.
There are several advantages to having a dedicated mail for documents. Among them:
- All documents are located in the same place 🗃️
- No documents run the risk of being overlooked among customer e-mails and other communications 📬
- Gives your company a professional touch ✨
Note: Kontolink collects your sales invoices directly from the accounting system, so no need for them to be stored in the e-mail.
