You can set up Gmail to automatically forward trade confirmation emails from your broker straight to your Navexa portfolio.

This ensures your trades are imported without you needing to manually forward each email.

    1. Note that 'Disable forwarding' is selected as we will do the forwarding via Filters only (so only contract notes/confirmations get sent) in Step 2. If “Forward a copy of incoming mail to …” is selected there, Gmail will forward everything (or close to every email in your inbox) to that Navexa address.

  6. Gmail will send a confirmation request to Navexa. Our system automatically approves it within 1–2 minutes.

  7. Once approved, you’ll get a confirmation email in your Gmail inbox.
