My Expenses as target for sharing text content

[mtotschnig]

Use case: User receives email with information relevant for a new transaction. He selects the text, clicks on Share, selects My Expenses, and a new transaction is created from it. Open question: The text could always populate the Notes field, or user could select if it should be handled as Category, Payer, Amount?

That would be cool :) Wondering if I would share the emails from the bank (you can receive a confirmation by email per transaction) or the emails from the webshop (or whatever, with the invoice). Really curious how you will find the relevant amount in the email - 'cause I suppose this function would only be usefull really if the other party, date and amount were filled automatically? Payer/payee and the date I guess are pretty straightforward (can be copied from the email headers) - category cannot really determined automatically 'cause it depends sometimes on the payee, sometimes on the products purchased.

The full email as notes wouldn't make much sense either; without the formatting it'll often just one big blub of text that is impossible to decipher.
