Help Inbox & sorting

Find your way around the Inbox

The summary, Review, All and Skipped, and filtering by type or source.

Checked against the app November 6, 2026

Everything that reaches Maitaki lands in the Inbox first: photos you snap, PDFs you upload, documents emailed to your invoice address and files you send in Chat. It shows what Maitaki did with each one, and what’s still waiting for you.

Open the Inbox

  • On a phone: tap the round tray icon at the top right, next to your location and avatar. Its badge counts what needs you.
  • On a computer: click Inbox in the sidebar.
  • From the Dashboard: tap the Inbox card. It shows how many are waiting to review, and how many are still being read.
The Inbox: type tabs, the summary card with 3 invoices to check and Start, the Review, All and Skipped toggle, and the day-by-day list

The summary at the top

The colored card at the top sums up the last 30 days.

  • 4 OF 27 FILED WITH NO HELP (for example) counts what Maitaki handled without anyone: invoices it verified itself, statements and order confirmations it filed, things it skipped, and copies it set aside.
  • Rules · 0 › opens your sorting rules.
  • 3 invoices to check says how many invoices are waiting, with + 1 other item for anything else that needs you. Tap Start to go through the invoices one after another.
  • When there’s nothing left, it says Nothing needs you.

Filter what you see

Type, across the top:

TabShows
AllEverything
InvoicesInvoices only
RecipesRecipes sent in
MenusMenus sent in
OtherStatements, order confirmations, and anything that isn’t one of the above

Status, under the summary:

  • Review shows only what still needs someone. This is where the Inbox opens. The number on it is how many.
  • All shows everything, grouped by the day it arrived.
  • Skipped shows what was set aside: skipped documents, order confirmations and copies of invoices you already have. Nothing here is ever thrown away.

Source, on the right: All sources, Uploaded (photos and PDFs from the app), Emailed or Chat Uploaded.

Read a card

Each card shows, from the top:

  1. Where it came from (a camera, envelope or chat icon), the time it arrived, and who emailed it.
  2. Its status on the right, like Ready to verify or Statement. See What each Inbox status means.
  3. The email subject or file name.
  4. A chip saying what it was sorted as, like Invoice · Metro Food Service, and the date printed on the invoice. Tap the chip to confirm or change it. See Tell Maitaki what a document is.

Tap anywhere else on the card to open it. Tap ‹ Inbox at the top to come back to the same place in the list.

Can’t find something? The Inbox opens on Review, which hides anything that’s done. Tap All, and set the type and source back to All.

Common questions

What are the SALES CHECKS cards?

Managers sometimes see cards under SALES CHECKS. They’re about your delivery-app sales, not documents. See DoorDash and other apps in your sales.

Where do order confirmations go?

They’re kept under the Other type and under Skipped, and never counted as spend. See Why order confirmations don’t count.

Is the Inbox the same for everyone on my team?

Yes. Everyone at a location sees the same Inbox for that location. To see another location’s, switch locations.
