inletAP is an accounts payable tool for property management companies and the bookkeepers who serve them. Instead of uploading documents or logging into a portal, each property, entity or portfolio gets its own intake email address. Vendors send invoices there directly, and inletAP parses the message and its attachments into structured fields: vendor, invoice number, invoice and due dates, total, tax, currency, purchase order number, property and line items.
Every extracted field carries its own confidence score and an evidence panel showing the line of source text the value was read from, with an explicit note when the value does not appear verbatim in the document, so a reviewer checks a value instead of re-keying the invoice. Any document whose vendor, invoice number, date or total scores below 70% goes to a review queue instead of on to an approver. The threshold is fixed at 70% and is not configurable.
Coding rules match on the sender, the intake address the invoice arrived on, and values on the document. A rule can set the GL account, quarantine a sender, auto-approve a document, or assign a named reviewer; rules run in priority order and every match is explained on the document. One invoice can be split across every property it covers - by amount, percent, even share, unit count or square footage - on every plan, including the free one.
Approvals route by amount tier and by property, with SLA timers and an overdue alert. Separation of duties is an optional workspace setting, off by default; when an administrator turns it on, the person who edited an invoice or sent it for approval cannot approve it. Every bill is compared against what that vendor has billed for that property before and against every invoice you already hold. A finding does not hold the bill and does not contact the vendor: the one exception is a top-tier duplicate, which cannot be exported until a person decides.
Approved bills post to QuickBooks Online through the official Intuit OAuth app, or export as a CSV whose columns you define yourself. Xero, AppFolio, Buildium, Yardi and Rent Manager are not built: no connector, no per-product template, no date. Every field edit, approval and export is written to an append-only audit log with actor and timestamp, and no API route can edit or delete it.
inletAP moves no money - no payment rails, no bank credentials, no cards - and it replaces neither a property management system nor a general ledger. It sits upstream of both, between the vendor's email and the ledger. There is no SOC 2 report.
There is a free tier of 25 invoices a month with no credit card, and every plan includes unlimited users, properties, vendors and entities, so approvers do not have to be rationed. A no-signup test is available: forwarding a vendor invoice to test@try.inlet-ap.com returns the extracted fields with a confidence score on each one.
