Pasting M-Pesa Messages

When to paste

Forwarding to the KapuLetu WhatsApp number is one way in. If you are already at your computer, or you have a batch of SMS to record, copy them and paste them into KapuLetu. They are read the same way as WhatsApp forwards.

How it works

1. Open a group and tap Add contribution(next to the group's name). You can also use Paste or add contributions on the Inbox.
2. Paste one or more messages, up to 50 at a time, and tap Check messages. Nothing is saved yet.
3. Check each message. Correct a name, amount or phone if needed, and untick any you don't want.
4. From a group, tap Approve into [group] to record the contributions straight away. If you're not sure about some, send them to the Inbox to review later. From the Inbox, they wait in the Inbox unless you pick a group.

What the labels mean

• Contribution: money received. It will be saved.
• Money out: a payment you made ("sent to", "paid to"). It always goes to the Inbox, where you can record it as an expense.
• Already recorded: this receipt is already in KapuLetu, whether it was pasted or forwarded on WhatsApp. It is skipped, so nothing is counted twice.
• Not a payment: the text isn't a payment message, for example a note or a report. It is skipped.
