Zoho Expense - ScanSnap Integration

Introducing Zoho Expense’s first integration with a hardware - ScanSnap. ScanSnap is a document scanner that effectively scans a variety of documents such as receipts, business cards, and more, digitizes them, and stores them in easily accessible formats on the cloud.

With the Zoho Expense - ScanSnap integration, you can effortlessly scan your paper receipts in ScanSnap and automatically send them to Zoho Expense to create expenses.

Here’s how the integration works:

Sign in to your ScanSnap account and create a profile for Zoho under Email Directly. Enter a name for the profile. Under Email setting, set up the To email address as fujitsu@receipts.zohoexpense.com, and in the Subject field, enter your Zoho Expense email address. Once this is done, the profile name that you entered will be displayed as a button on the ScanSnap device to send receipts to Zoho Expense directly.

After completing these steps, you can scan your receipts using the ScanSnap device and directly send them to Zoho Expense at the click of a button. The sent receipts will be autoscanned and created as expenses.

Benefits of the integration:

• Effortless scanning and expense creation: Simply configure a one-time setup on the ScanSnap device, and the receipts will be scanned and sent to Zoho Expense at the click of a button. No more difficulties in managing your business receipt load! Additionally, you can scan your receipts in bulk and facilitate instant creation of all your expenses.
