# Email Integration

> Log entries via email and receive notifications, digests, and alerts

## Overview

Peanuts integrates with email in two ways: receiving entries and sending notifications.

## Log via Email

Forward emails or send new ones to your personal Peanuts email address to create entries.

### Your Peanuts Email Address

Each user gets a unique forwarding address:

```
your-username@log.peanuts.app
```

Find your address in **Settings → Integrations → Email**.

### How It Works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Forward or compose">
    Send an email to your Peanuts address with the entry content.
  </Step>

  <Step title="AI processes">
    Peanuts extracts data and routes to the appropriate Helper.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Entry created">
    The entry appears in your Helper with extracted fields.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Use Cases

* Forward receipts for expense tracking
* Forward confirmations for travel logging
* Send quick notes from any email client
* Forward newsletters to a reading list Helper

<Info>
  Email logging costs **1 credit** per email processed.
