Parseur integration with Pabbly Connect

Parseur integrates with Pabbly Connect the same way it integrates with IFTTT or Make. As a PDF with a robust OCR engine , Parseur can send structured data to thousands of applications.

Parseur is a template-based extraction platform that requires zero coding knowledge, which makes it a great connector for Pabbly.

Step 1: Create a free Parseur mailbox

Parseur has ready-made templates for different types of industries such as food ordering, real estate, invoice, and search alerts.

Depending on the industry you're in, you can create your mailbox accordingly.

For this integration article, we'll take the example of extracting invoice data from PDF invoices

Step 2: Create an invoice OCR

Parseur has AI-assisted templates providing ready-made fields to create the OCR template.

Once you click on "create", your template will be created within seconds.

Step 3: Set up a workflow in Pabbly Connect

Sign in to your Pabbly account and click on "create workflow" on your dashboard.

Step 4: Create your trigger as Parseur

Choose "Parseur" as the triggering app and add the triggering event as "document processed".

A Webhook URL will be generated. The trigger step will keep checking each time there's a new document processed in the Parseur mailbox.

Note: In Pabbly, there's only the option of "document processed" or and not "table processed".

Copy the URL and go back to your Parseur mailbox. Click on "Export" and "Webhook and paste the URL as shown below.

Step 5: Connect Google Sheets with Pabbly Connect

Next, let's move to creating an action!  Choose the app where you want to send the parsed data and the action.

You should have already created your table with headers in the Google spreadsheet.

Step 6: Customize your Google spreadsheet

Map the invoice data from Parseur with the sheet columns.

Step 7: Send a test request from Pabbly Connect to Google Sheets

Once you're done mapping, click on "send a test request" and verify whether the data has been automatically sent to the Google spreadsheet.

From now on, each time you send an invoice to the Parseur mailbox, it will be processed automatically, and a new row will be created in the spreadsheet with the data in real-time.
