Attaching an Email to an Expense

I've tried a couple of times to attach an email to an expense, but it won't take. Whenever I drag the email over to the expense, it tells me to drop it, but when I do nothing happens. If I forward the email to [email protected], it doesn't find the corresponding expense, Instead, it creates a new expense in a report under my name, rather than finding it in another employee's report.

Hi @Brandon_CP2, thanks for posting. You should be able to drag and drop an image file into an expense in your Expensify account. We recommend using PDF, .jpg, or .png files.
I have not tested uploading the body of the email using drag and drop but I'm nearly 100% positive this isn't something we support, sorry about that.

Hi @Brandon_CP2 - what type of file are you trying to upload? if the email the receipt you are trying to have read by [email protected]?

@Aussiebandit In this last case, it was in the body of the email itself. Other times, it may be a pdf attachment.

- Outlook doesn't support drag and drop to web but you can download an add-in such as Outlook2Web. The file type could also be a problem (Accepted File Types).
- To send an expense into another employee's account you have to be their copilot. As their copilot, you can send the email to [email protected] and put that employee's email address in the subject line of the email.
