Gmail Add-on: smarter receipt detection and instant scanning

Fredrik avatar
Shared by Fredrik • August 13, 2026

Hi Bezala users,

We released our Gmail™ Add-on for automatic receipt forwarding earlier this year, and today we shipped a major upgrade to how it detects receipts.

The add-on now looks for actual payment evidence — things like card numbers, total amounts, VAT lines, and invoice numbers — instead of just receipt-related words. This means far fewer non-receipt emails (newsletters, notifications) get forwarded, while real receipts are caught more reliably. Even an email that just says "receipt attached" with a PDF now gets picked up.

We also extended detection to all major European languages, so receipts in French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Estonian, and Danish are now recognized alongside Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, German, and English.

Finally, we added a Scan now button — if you just received a receipt and don't want to wait for the hourly automatic scan, open the Bezala sidebar in Gmail and scan immediately.

You can find the add-on on the Google Workspace Marketplace.

Gmail™ is a trademark of Google LLC.
