PayPal → Google SheetsSave PayPal receipts to Google Sheets automatically
PayPal's transaction history exports are fine for taxes, but useless for day-to-day "what did I spend this month" visibility — and they don't combine with receipts from anywhere else. Meanwhile every PayPal payment already triggers a receipt email from service@paypal.com.
Auto-forward those receipts to a Quicktion address and your spreadsheet ledger maintains itself: one row per transaction with date, subject and full body. Pro's AI extraction pulls the amount, currency and merchant into their own columns, and because the address accepts mail from anywhere, your Stripe and bank-alert emails can feed the same ledger.
What lands in your spreadsheet
| From the email | Into your spreadsheet |
|---|---|
| Subject ("You sent a payment…") | Title column |
| Transaction date | Date column |
| Receipt body | Body column, links clickable |
| Amount, currency, merchant (AI, Pro) | Number and text columns |
Rows marked (AI, Pro) use AI Email Intelligence, available on the Pro plan. Standard mapping — subject, sender, date, body, attachments — is included free.
