You can filter senders and import attachments, the email body, or both. * **Forward to a DigiParser address** when people or mail rules should send documents to a parser, folder, or document classifier.

Feedback For messages sent to a DigiParser inbox address, use [Configure Email Processing](/docs/guides/parsers/parser-settings/email-processing) to restrict senders, limit attachment types, or process an email body without an attachment. If an email does not appear, use [Troubleshoot Email Imports](/docs/guides/troubleshooting/email-import-problems). Feedback Email bodies and attachments use credits separately. See [How Credits Are Calculated](/docs/guides/troubleshooting/credits-and-billing#email-bodies) when estimating the cost of a long email conversation. How is this guide?
