Automated Email Receipt Logging
Every evening, WebRun opens Edison Mail, finds the receipts, order confirmations, and subscription charges that arrived that day, writes each one to a Google Sheet with the vendor, amount, date, and category, and sends you a Telegram message with the day's total and anything that looks like a charge you did not expect.
How do I automatically log receipt emails into a spreadsheet?
WebRun reads your Edison Mail inbox every evening for receipts, order confirmations, and subscription charges. It logs each one to a Google Sheet with the vendor, amount, date, and category, then sends a Telegram message with the day's total and any charge you did not expect.
- Receipts land in the sheet the day they arrive
- First-time vendors and unexpected charges get named the same evening
- Month-end reconciliation starts from a sheet that is already complete

Questions, answered
Will it reply to or delete any of my email?
No. WebRun reads the receipt messages only. It never replies, forwards, archives, or deletes anything in Edison Mail, and it never unsubscribes you from a sender on its own.
What happens to a receipt it cannot read properly?
It still gets a row, with the fields it could read filled in and the rest left blank and marked for review, so a hard-to-parse receipt is visible in the sheet rather than silently dropped.
How does it avoid logging the same receipt twice?
It checks the sheet for the same vendor, amount, and reference number before appending, so a forwarded copy or a resent confirmation does not create a second row.
