How does Parseur create Zenkit items from emails?

Parseur receives your emails at a dedicated mailbox address, its built-in AI extracts the fields you defined, and a Zapier connection creates the Zenkit item with each field mapped to a collection field. You set the mapping up once and every new email follows it.

Do I need to write code to connect Parseur to Zenkit?

No. Parseur connects to Zenkit through Zapier without any code. You forward the emails to your Parseur mailbox, pick the fields to extract, and map them to Zenkit fields in Zapier.

Which Zenkit field types can Parseur fill?

Parseur can fill any field type Zapier exposes on a Zenkit collection, including text, number, date, label, and checkbox.

Will the item appear correctly in board and calendar views?

Yes. Because the label and date fields are populated rather than left empty, the item sorts into the right board column and lands on the right calendar day straight away.

Can Parseur extract data from PDF attachments into Zenkit?

Yes. Parseur reads PDF and scanned attachments alongside the email body, so an invoice or form sent as a file becomes a Zenkit item with its values extracted.

Can Parseur handle emails from senders with different layouts?

Yes. Parseur's built-in AI extracts the fields you request from any email layout, so messages from several sources can feed the same collection with consistent fields.

Can I send emails to different Zenkit collections?

Yes. Use a separate Parseur mailbox per collection, or add a condition in Zapier that routes on an extracted field so different kinds of email land in different collections.

What happens if an email is missing a field?

Parseur extracts what is present and leaves the rest empty, and the parsed document stays visible in your Parseur mailbox where you can review and correct it before or after it syncs.

Use cases

Emails as Zenkit items, whichever view you use

Zenkit shows the same collection as a table, a board, a calendar, or a mind map. Parseur makes sure the underlying fields are actually filled. Parseur reads each incoming email, extracts the values you named, and creates the Zenkit item through Zapier, so every view is useful rather than a wall of subject lines.

Leads and enquiries: Parseur pulls contact details and the request out of enquiry emails so each item carries the customer's details in their own fields.
Requests and tasks: Parseur extracts references and dates from request emails and sets them as item fields, so the calendar and board views line up with reality.
Orders and documents: Parseur reads order and invoice emails including PDF attachments, creating one item per document with amounts and dates already in place.

How it works

How the Zenkit integration works

Set it up once. Every new email is parsed and delivered on its own after that.

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 Zenkit: Zapier picks up the parsed data and sends it to Zenkit in real time.
