Documents missing from the inbox

When an expected invoice doesn’t appear: check channel (email, e-Boks, forward, upload), filters, and duplicates.

Written by Nicki Elgaard

You expected an invoice or receipt in Payfriend, but it isn’t there. Go channel by channel — documents arrive via different paths.

Quick diagnosis

Where should the document come from?

Source

Check

Gmail/Outlook

Is the email in the connected inbox? Integration connected?

e-Boks

Forward address

Sent to the correct Payfriend address?

Scan/upload

Under Documents/Bills instead of Inbox?

Payroll

Salary/Zenegy connected and run completed?

Checklist

  1. Search Payfriend by supplier, amount, or invoice number (including tabs beyond Inbox).

  2. Check filters (status, date, “new only”).

  3. Confirm integration status under Settings.

  4. For email: open the original — is the document attached as PDF/JPG/PNG?

  5. Wait one scan interval (~15 min for email) if the mail just arrived.

  6. Upload manually as a temporary fix: Scan and upload.

Common causes

Mail in another mailbox

Fix: Connect the right account, or forward to the Payfriend address.

Unsupported file type

Fix: Convert to PDF, or take a clear photo.

Already created

Fix: Search more broadly; check Bills and Documents.

Expected history, only ongoing scan

Fix: Some channels pull limited history on setup — otherwise upload manually.

Still stuck?

Send support: channel, time, supplier, attachment yes/no, screenshots of mail/e-Boks and Payfriend search.
