In this article, we will walk through how to find your unique AP Inbox and enable auto-forwarding from Gmail to your MakersHub AP Inbox.
Locate Your AP Inbox
Navigate to your name in the upper right corner, click Admin. Under the Bill Settings you can find your unique AP Inbox.
MakersHub Only Processes Valid Attachments
When processing emails, we look for attachments (pdf, jpeg, png, xls, doc, heic) or images within the email to process. If bills are included inside the body of the email please see our article on unprocessed email functionality here.
Enable Email Forwarding

In the settings menu at the top of the page, click on the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab. Then select Add a forwarding address.
Enter your MakersHub AP Inbox (e.g., YourMakersHubAPEmail@makershub.ai). Then click Next and Proceed. A confirmation email will then be sent to the AP Inbox email which the MakersHub Operation Team will review and approve.
