Maildropping Docs

Send documents and messages into Paperless Pipeline by emailing them to your personal maildrop addresses.

Introduction

There are two types of maildrop addresses:

  • Unassigned Docs maildrop — Sends docs straight into your Unassigned Docs.
  • Transaction maildrop — Sends docs and messages directly into a specific transaction.

Maildrop addresses are unique to each user. Your address tells Pipeline who sent the file and where to put it. The body of the email is kept only for transaction maildrops; Unassigned maildrops keep attachments only.

Retrieve Your Unassigned Maildrop Address

Retrieve your personal Unassigned Docs maildrop address to email files straight into your Unassigned Docs without logging in. The body of the email is discarded and only the attachments are kept.

Who Can Do This: Admins and agents with Upload Docs permission.

To find your Maildrop Address for unassigned docs:

  1. Go to the Unassigned Page
    • Click [Unassigned] from the top menu.
  2. Find Your Maildrop Address
    • Locate the maildrop address near the top of the page.
  3. Save It
    • Right-click the address and select Copy Email Address to paste it elsewhere.
    • Or click vCard to download and save it directly to your device's contacts.

Many offices program this address into their scanner so scanned docs go directly into Pipeline without manual upload.

Retrieve Your Transaction Maildrop Address

Retrieve your personal maildrop address for a transaction to email docs and messages directly into that transaction without logging in. Sent emails appear in the Received Emails section, and any attached docs are placed in Unassigned, pre-assigned to the transaction but awaiting a permission category.

Who Can Do This: Admins and agents with Upload Docs and Assign Docs permission.

To find your Maildrop Address for a transaction:

  1. Go to the Transaction
    • Open the transaction where you need to take action.
  2. Find Your Maildrop Address
    • Locate the maildrop address near the top of the page.
  3. Save It
    • Right-click the address and select Copy Email Address to paste it elsewhere.
    • Or click vCard to download and save it directly to your device's contacts.

Every user has their own transaction maildrop address for the same transaction.
