ProductivityDocumentsDatabaseAnalyticsFormsAutomation

Parseur is an AI-powered document data extraction platform that converts PDFs, emails, scanned forms, and invoices into clean structured data automatically. Connect Parseur to Actionist and your agents can submit documents for extraction, receive parsed fields the moment processing completes, route individual line items from invoices or tables downstream, catch and retry failed documents, and export structured data to any connected system — all without anyone logging in to the Parseur dashboard.

Vendor invoice extracted and logged on email arrival

When a vendor invoice email arrives in Gmail, the Finance Agent extracts the PDF attachment, submits it to the AP Parseur mailbox, and waits for the extraction to complete. Within about a minute the parsed fields are written to the AP tracking sheet and a summary posted to #finance-ops for approval — no one manually opens the email or types a number into a spreadsheet.

FAQs

Questions about Parseur + Actionist

How does Actionist connect to Parseur?

Go to the Apps tab, find Parseur, and click Connect. Parseur uses API key authentication — log in to your Parseur account, navigate to Settings and copy your API key, then paste it into the Actionist connection dialog. Actionist runs a test call against your mailbox list to confirm the key is valid before saving the connection.

How does Parseur's mailbox model work with Actionist?

Parseur uses a mailbox model: each mailbox is a dedicated email address or upload endpoint you configure to accept a specific document type. When Actionist creates a document, it submits the file or email content to the target mailbox ID. Parsed results come back as structured JSON fields defined by the template you set up inside Parseur. The template stays in Parseur — Actionist reads and routes the output.

What document types can Parseur extract data from?

Yes. Parseur supports PDFs (digital and scanned), email bodies and attachments, images captured on a phone, Word documents, CSVs, invoices, purchase orders, contracts, forms, ID documents, bank statements, bills of lading, and medical claims. You set up one mailbox per document type in Parseur, then point each Actionist agent at the relevant mailbox ID.

How do I trigger a workflow as soon as a document is parsed?

Use the New Document Processed trigger. Within about a minute of Parseur finishing extraction, Actionist receives the webhook payload with all parsed fields. You can then route specific field values — invoice total, vendor name, PO number — into any other connected app such as QuickBooks, Google Sheets, or HubSpot without polling or manual exports.

Can Actionist alert me when a document fails to parse?

Yes. Use the New Document Export Failed or New Document Not Processed triggers to catch failures within about a minute. You can route these events to a Slack alert, create a task in your project management tool, or re-submit the document to a different mailbox for manual review — all without checking the Parseur dashboard.

How does Parseur handle structured versus unstructured documents?

Parseur's template-based extraction lets you define expected fields once — invoice number, line items, due date — and it applies those rules to every new document of the same type. For unstructured documents, the AI Vision and Text AI modes can infer fields without a fixed template. Actionist reads whatever field names and values Parseur returns, so adding new fields in Parseur automatically makes them available in your agent's output.

How do I extract and route individual line items from invoices or tables?

Use the New Document Processed (With List Items) trigger. This variant of the processed event fires once per extracted row in a table — line items on an invoice, products in a purchase order, or beneficiaries on a policy document. Each trigger payload contains a single row's fields, so your agent can fan out into per-row actions such as creating individual records in your ERP or updating a spreadsheet row by row.

How do I submit a file from another app into Parseur for parsing?

Use Create Document From File to submit a PDF or image file directly from another app — Google Drive, email attachments, or a cloud storage bucket — into a Parseur mailbox via Actionist. The agent reads the file content, passes it to Parseur, and then waits for the New Document Processed trigger to act on the extracted data. This lets you build end-to-end pipelines: file arrives → agent submits it → agent routes the parsed output, all without human involvement.
