Use Uber for Business with Chrome River

Chrome River offers expense integration with the Uber for Business ride-sharing application to automatically submit and process Uber receipts within Chrome River. For users who have enabled this feature via their Uber Business Profile, any Uber receipt will automatically be sent to their business email address and CCed to receipt@thirdparty.chromefile.com. An HTML receipt for the Uber expense will be created in Chrome River for use with expense reporting. Uber ride receipts will be assigned the Taxi expense type, while Uber Eats receipts will be assigned the Meal expense type. Users will receive the standard receipt email notification when the Uber receipt has been received and processed successfully.

Note that there is an 11-hour grace period between when Uber sends the user a receipt and when Uber sends the receipt to Chrome River.
