Email Ingest
For everyone · 3 min read
Email ingest lets you forward signed contracts directly to Lumipact by email. Lumipact extracts the PDF attachment, runs AI extraction on it, and files it as a new contract in your workspace — without you having to log in and upload it manually.
Your ingest email address
Each workspace has a unique ingest email address. Find it in Inbox or in the Inbox settings panel. It looks like yourworkspace@ingest.lumipact.com.
How to use it
- 1
Receive or send a signed contract by email
Typically this is the email your e-signature tool (or counterparty) sends with the completed PDF attached. - 2
Forward it to your ingest address
Forward the email to your workspace ingest address. The PDF attachment is what Lumipact extracts — the email body is ignored. - 3
Lumipact processes the attachment
Within a minute or two, the contract appears in your Inbox tab inside Lumipact. The AI extraction runs automatically. - 4
Review and save
Open the contract from Inbox, review the extracted fields, assign it to an entity, and click Save. It then moves to your main contract portfolio.
Supported file types
Lumipact processes PDF attachments. Other file types (Word, Excel, images) in the forwarded email are ignored. If an email has multiple PDF attachments, each is processed as a separate contract draft.
What happens if extraction fails?
If the AI cannot read the PDF (e.g. a scanned document with no text layer, or a password-protected file), the contract is still created in your Inbox but with empty fields. You can fill in the fields manually and save it.
Inbox management
The Inbox tab shows all contracts received by email that haven't been saved to the portfolio yet. You can:
- Save — review and move to the main portfolio.
- Discard — remove from inbox without saving (e.g. if it was forwarded by mistake).
Inbox items are not visible to other team members until you save them to the portfolio.
