About South Australia Water invoice capture

This setting lets Invoice Automate recognise South Australia Water bill emails that you forward to your Invoice Automate inbox. When a forwarded email matches the specified subject, Invoice Automate attempts to extract the invoice and create a draft for you to review and approve.

Why this matters - SA Water offers eBilling that delivers bills to your email inbox, which you can then forward to Invoice Automate for faster processing.


Before you begin

Set yourself up for a smooth configuration.

  • Confirm SA Water sends bills by email. SA Water supports eBilling to your inbox via mySAWater. If you currently receive paper bills, switch to eBilling first

  • Locate your Invoice Automate inbox address. Use the standard Invoice Automate inbound email address your agency was given during setup. If unsure, ask your administrator

  • Have a recent SA Water bill email handy. You will copy its exact subject into the required field

  • Permissions. You need access to Settings in Invoice Automate

Tip: Keep a sample SA Water bill email in a safe place. If SA Water changes its subject format later, you can update the setting quickly.


Turn on SA Water invoice capture

  • In Invoice Automate > Go to: Settings

  • Select General Settings

  • Toggle Enable invoices from South Australia Water to On

  • In the email subject (required) field, paste the exact subject from a genuine SA Water bill email you received

    • Include punctuation, spaces and any reference numbers as they appear

  • Select Save


Forward a SA Water bill email to Invoice Automate

Once enabled, forward SA Water bill emails so the system can extract invoice details.

  • Open the SA Water bill email in your mail application

  • Verify the subject matches what you entered in General Settings

  • Forward the email to your agency’s Invoice Automate inbox address

  • Wait a short moment, then check Invoice Automate for the new invoice

Tip: Forward the original supplier email, not a screenshot or a download of the email body. If the bill arrives with a PDF invoice attached, forwarding the original email usually produces the most reliable results.
