Why Aren’t My Invoices Appearing in the File After Emailing Them?

If you’ve emailed an invoice and it’s not showing in Law App under the correct file, the issue is usually due to incorrect tagging or an Outlook integration step being missed — even if the file number appears correct.

🔍 What to Check

✅ Correct File Tag Format

  • Ensure the subject line contains the file tag in square brackets with exact spacing and formatting.

  • Example: [ABC - 100777]

  • The format must exactly match the file number and format used in Law App.

🔐 Outlook Integration & Login

  • You must be logged into Outlook via Law App, and complete any multi-factor authentication.

  • Navigate to Documents > Save Emails, and sign in if prompted.

⏳ Timing: Email Movement or Deletion

  • Do not move or delete the email immediately after sending.

  • Wait for the orange Law App flag to appear in the Categories column in Outlook.

    • Flag present: Email has been saved to Law App.

    • No flag: Email hasn’t saved yet. Moving it could prevent Law App from capturing it.

⚙️ Auto Save Feature

Law App can automatically scan and save sent emails with correct file tags.

Auto Save activates when you:

  • Open Documents > Save Emails

  • Click the Auto Save Emails button from your dashboard

It checks your Sent Items for tagged subject lines and saves matching emails to the correct file.

  • The email subject becomes the document title.

  • A successful save is shown by the orange Law App flag in Outlook.

📌 Tip: If Your Email Hasn’t Saved

  • Double-check the file tag formatting.

  • Confirm the file number exists in Law App.

If still missing, manually save the email:

  • In Outlook, click the Law App Email Save button (recommended — adds the orange flag), or

  • Go to Law App > Documents > Upload, and drag the message in manually (note: this method does not show the saved flag in Outlook).
