Gmail Integration
Connect your Gmail account to Seapoint and we'll automatically find invoices in your inbox — no manual downloading or forwarding required. Extracted invoices feed into both Invoice Pay (for paying bills) and Bookkeeping (as evidence for reconciliation).
💡 Gmail is connected with read-only access. Seapoint can't send, delete, or modify your emails. Personal emails are never read or stored.
