Modified on: Tue, 29 Oct, 2024 at 1:45 PM


All documents emailed into a Vault will appear in the “Unfiled” tab of the vault. By default administrative users (Sponsors) don't have access to this section.
Info! The body of the email will be also stored with the document. Users can right-click and view the original email at any time.

All emails sent to an inbound email address (vault) must have a file attached to be received inside the vault, and the file type needs to be supported.

Notifications: A notification will be sent to the sender when it is successfully received. Check your spam folder if you don't see it in your inbox. If you don't receive an email confirmation, please confirm with the vault owner they can see the document in their Unfiled area or try again. Vault owners receive this notification by default unless they change it in the Account setting.

Step 1: Share or Use the correct inbound email address of the vault.

  • Ask the vault owner for this unique inbound email address. Each vault has a different email. If you have access to the Unfiled area, use the clipboard to copy the inbound email address.
