Extract text from documents and send it to Power Automate

Parseur is integrated with Power Automate (formerly known as Microsoft Flow), one of the best workflow automation tools for enterprise. This integration enables you to connect to hundreds of applications and services.

As an AI parsing tool, Parseur enables you to extract specific data and export it to any application of your choice.

Popular features of Power Automate

Power Automate is packed with features to handle the most complex workflows:

• Connected to most Microsoft applications: Office 365, SharePoint, Outlook, Excel, SQL Server, Azure services, Dynamics CRM, Dynamics NAV, and Salesforce
• Connected to hundreds more third-party applications and services
• Multi-step workflows
• Approval workflows (workflow gets on hold until somebody reviews and approves the request)
• Conditional workflows based on business data or logic
• Data transformations (compose, join, select, filter, etc.)

Benefits of an AI parser integration with Power Automate

As an official connector of Power Automate, Parseur enables you to send extracted data from documents such as emails or PDFs to any Microsoft products.

Some of the popular scenarios in which our customers send data to Power Automate:

• Create an item in a SharePoint List from data received by email
• Add information to Dynamics CRM from lead mails
• Send emails from an Outlook mailbox to Parseur for text extraction
• Trigger complex workflows based on data received from PDFs

Say goodbye to manually copying and pasting text from documents to Microsoft applications!

With Power Automate integration, you can be sure to save countless hours of manual tasks while improving the automation processes within your business.

We also use Microsoft Azure; the cloud computing service of Microsoft to host some of our operations.

Step 1: Setup your Parseur mailbox

Before you can use this integration, sign up for a Power Automate account, and create your account on Parseur. Unlike other PDF parsers, with zero coding knowledge, you can use AI for various industries such as Mortgage Leads, Real Estate, or Job Search, among others.

Parseur is Point & Click!

For this integration article, we'll take the example where you want to extract data from your emails in Microsoft Outlook and send that parsed data to Power Automate. Follow our guide on how to teach Parseur on which specific data needs to be extracted from your Outlook emails.

Step 2: Send data extracted by Parseur to Power Automate

Once your template has been created based on the data extraction process, you can export the parsed email data to Power Automate. Click on "export" and "MS Flow"

If you do not have a configured flow yet, Parseur will prompt you to create a flow. You will be redirected to your Power Automate account.

Since this is your first flow, click on My flows > New > Automated - from blank

Give the Flow a name and choose the trigger by typing "Parseur" in the search box

You will need to link to your Parseur account if this is your first flow. You can find the API key in your Parseur account.

Once your Parseur account is connected, you can then choose your Parseur mailbox; the one where you will export parsed data to Power Automate.

Step 3: Send parsed data to any application integrated with Power Automate

From there, you will be able to connect with thousands of applications and send over the extracted data via automated flows.
