One list item per document, filled in automatically
SharePoint is where your organisation keeps the record. Parseur is what writes it. Parseur reads the emails and documents arriving at your mailbox, extracts the fields you named, and Power Automate creates the SharePoint list item with every column populated. Storing the PDF in a library is not the same as having its data.
-
Invoices and purchase orders
Parseur extracts supplier, reference, dates, and amounts from invoices arriving by email and writes each one to your finance list, ready for approval flows to pick up.
-
Requests and submissions
Parseur turns request and form notification emails into list items with their columns set, so a Power Automate approval can start the moment the request arrives.
-
Microsoft 365 process flows
Parseur sits inside Power Automate next to your existing SharePoint, Teams, and Outlook actions, adding extraction to a flow your team already maintains.
How the SharePoint integration works
-
1. Create your Parseur mailbox
- Sign up and get a dedicated email address where your documents land.
-
2. Forward your emails
- Send emails manually or set up auto forwarding so every new one arrives on its own.
-
3. AI extracts the data
- Parseur reads each email and pulls out the fields you need as structured data.
-
4. Data lands in SharePoint
- Power Automate picks up the parsed data and sends it to SharePoint in real time.
What is Parseur?
Parseur is a powerful document processing software to extract text from emails, PDFs and documents and automate your workflow. All Parseur features.
What is SharePoint?
SharePoint is a web-based platform that connects with Microsoft Office. It enables the organizing, sharing and accessing of information from a single place.
What is Power Automate?
Microsoft Power Automate (also known as Microsoft Flow) is a tool that integrates cloud-based apps and services so they interact with each other seamlessly. Flow makes it easy to interact with Microsoft applications (like Outlook, Excel, SharePoint, Dynamics CRM, SQL Server and more).
Trusted for document intake in production
Kompenzo analyses shipping and customs costs across carriers and countries, each sending its own document format. Rasmus Norgaard used to spend four to five hours per cycle opening documents and typing the numbers into spreadsheets by hand. With Parseur extracting the fields, the same analysis takes 15 to 20 minutes of setup and review.
- Less manual work per analysis cycle at Kompenzo
- 95%
- Documents processed by Parseur since 2016
- 100M+
- Parseur rating on Capterra and GetApp
- 5/5
As an official connector of Power Automate, Parseur allows you to export data to hundreds of applications such as Office 365, Dynamics 365, SQL Server, and SharePoint as well.
In this article, we will show you the steps to send in the parsed email data to your SharePoint with the integration of Microsoft Flow.
Integrating Parseur with SharePoint
Parseur is a powerful email parsing tool that automates data extraction from emails, attachments, and documents such as PDFs and Microsoft Word. In simple terms, with Parseur you can save countless hours of manual work with automated workflows.
Microsoft Flow, also known as Microsoft Power Automate, allows you to easily integrate with various cloud-based apps and services. The aim is to reduce repetitive and manual tasks by creating automated workflows, thus increasing efficiency in your business.
Let's take the case where you receive leads via email or other platforms. It does not matter in which industry you are; leads generation has always been an essential tool in any business. You may be receiving hundreds of emails daily from potential clients which is a good thing! However, those emails come in different layouts and formats and manually extracting specific data (customer name, customer email, message) can be time-consuming. On top of that, you have to send that information to a SharePoint so that it can be easily accessible to your team.
Tiring and time-intensive right?
Luckily for you - The integration of Parseur and Microsoft Flow will help you automate these repetitive tasks, saving you time!
How to get started?
Step 1: Create a Parseur mailbox to collect your leads
Create your mailbox by selecting the first option "custom emails" Parseur can process any type of emails automatically as well, for example, food delivery industry,real estate, or job search.
Step 2: Forward the lead email to Parseur
Send the email to your Parseur mailbox (you will receive an email address for the mailbox). You can also create auto-forwarding rules so that every email of this format is sent to your Parseur mailbox.
Step 3: Extract email data with AI
Compared to other email parsers, you do not need to create parsing rules for data extraction; our AI tool will take care of everything.
All the following emails that you forward to this mailbox will be automatically processed.
Now, let's head to the coolest part of the article which is exporting the extracted data to SharePoint.
Step 4: Export the parsed data to SharePoint
On the left-hand side of your Parseur mailbox, click on "export" and on "MS Flow"
Click on "create a new flow" and you will be redirected to your Power Automate account
If you don't have any configured flows yet, you will have to create a new one and authenticate your Parseur account.
If you have already configured your flows, you will be redirected to the page below:
Step 5: Select the Parseur mailbox where you have created your template
Once you have selected your mailbox, look for "SharePoint - create item" in the search box From there, select the SharePoint address
As per the below screenshot, you can choose from the dynamic content and just add the extracted data. This will create the data mapping.
Step 6: Test your SharePoint integration
Click on the test button to check whether the flow integration has been set up correctly.
Back in your Parseur mailbox, re-process the document so that the parsed data is sent to Microsoft Flow.
If you check your Microsoft Flow, you will find that the test has been successful.

And, that's it! You now have automated a business process that was taking hours.
