# Upload receipts to Bokio automatically

> Send receipts from a folder or an inbox to Bokio as uploads with a clear description, skip duplicates and see what is still waiting to be booked.

Source: https://cotlet.dev/integrations/bokio-api-mcp-server/upload-receipts

Receipts pile up as photos and PDFs in a folder or in your inbox, and each one has to be added to Bokio by hand before the books can be closed.

Cotlet does it in your own Bokio account with list\_uploads and upload\_receipt, called by your AI agent, an n8n workflow or a script.

## Can Bokio do this on its own?

Bokio's API has an uploads endpoint that takes a PDF, JPEG or PNG with an optional description and, since the 5 Oct 2026 changelog, can link an upload to a journal entry (checked 14 Oct 2026). A private integration token or a public integration with the uploads scope is required, and the API only uploads: booking the receipt is a separate step.

## How you do it in Bokio today

1. Click Skapa Ny and choose Ladda upp.
2. Select the receipts and invoices on your computer and click Öppna.
3. Bokio takes you to the Uppladdat page, which lists every uploaded file.
4. Book each file from there or from the Att göra page, or delete a file that was uploaded by mistake.

## How to upload receipts to Bokio automatically

Prompt

```
Take the PDF and photo receipts from this folder and upload each one to Bokio with the shop name and date as the description. Tell me which ones were already there.
```

1. 01  
### Read what is already uploaded  
list\_uploads returns the files already in Bokio with their descriptions, so the agent can skip a receipt it has uploaded before.
2. 02  
### Check type and size  
Only PDF, PNG and JPEG are accepted. The agent also checks that each PDF is within the 4 MB Bokio's help gives for multi-file uploads and reports the files it skipped.
3. 03  
### Describe each file  
The agent reads the receipt and passes a description such as shop name and date to upload\_receipt. Without one Bokio uses the file name.
4. 04  
### Upload one file per call  
upload\_receipt sends one file at a time. The upload appears on the Uppladdat page, ready for you to book.
5. 05  
### Report the queue  
At the end the agent lists the uploads that are still unbooked, so you know what is waiting for you.

### What you get back

Example data

```
Receipts found in folder: 5
Uploaded 4:
- Clas Ohlson 2026-10-09 (jpeg)
- Telia October invoice (pdf)
Skipped 1: already uploaded as "Elgiganten 2026-10-02"
Waiting to be booked in Bokio: 4
```

### Other ways to ask

- Every evening, upload the receipt attachments from this mailbox and label them with the sender and date.
- Upload these three PDFs and link each one to the journal entry with the same amount.
- List the files I uploaded this month that have not been booked yet.

## What Bokio allows, and what to know first

- Bokio accepts PDF, PNG and JPEG for uploads, and PDFs must not exceed 4 MB each in a multi-file upload.
- Files you upload land on the Uppladdat page and on the Att göra page until they are booked.
- In a multi-file upload you cannot group files that belong to the same voucher; add those when you book the voucher.
- Bokio's API takes one file per request, and an upload can be attached to a journal entry by its ID.

upload\_receipt changes only your own Bokio data and reach no one else, so it runs without asking first.

## For AI agents: sign your user up

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
