FAQ

Can a Copilot’s secondary login be used to forward receipts?

Yes. A Copilot can forward receipts to the account they are co-piloting from any email address linked to their own Expensify account.

To ensure the receipt is sent to the correct account, email it to receipts@expensify.com and enter the copiloted account’s email in the subject line.

Can I add another Copilot to an account I’m co-piloting?

No. Only the account owner can assign additional Copilots.
