Ending support for the Expensify Chrome Extension
For many years Expensify supported the ability to create and import receipts from a web page in Google Chrome - this was facilitated by a little-used Chrome Extension that would simply print the page as a PDF and then import it to your account for SmartScanning.
While we love this feature, it’s only used by 0.003% of our users. Pursuant to changes Google has enforced around what can and cannot be facilitated by a Chrome Extension - we have removed the Extension from the web store for new users and will soon be deprecating it formally for everyone, instead of continuing to support something which the vast majority of our users probably weren’t even aware of.
Going forward, you can still SmartScan receipts with the Expensify app, drag-and-drop them via the website or forward them to [email protected] (don’t worry, these are never going away!).

That was so convenient.
In this digital age where i order 99% of my items electronically and used this all the time.

Through November and December, the chrome extension seems to be turned off.
But today (January 20 2022), i find it working again - Yay!
The quickest way by-far to get amazon invoices into Expensify.

I don't understand this. It's just a web clip of the screen and pushes through likely the same API your site and app use. I click the invoice on order confirmation screen right after I purchase, click the chrome extension and I'm done. Amazon order confirmation emails do not show the product description, which company policy requires. So it needs to come from the website. So now the new process will be :
View Invoice
Print Invoice
save as PDF
Retrieve PDF location
Send email to receipts@
attach the file.
Send
Low-hanging fruit left to rot. Very disappointing.
