Use cases

Extract data from emails and PDFs, then let Power Automate run

Power Automate moves data between Microsoft apps. It cannot read a scanned invoice or a messy email on its own. Parseur is the Power Automate OCR and email parser that fills that gap: its built-in AI extracts the fields you name from any email, PDF, or scan, then triggers your flow through the official Parseur connector. No template per layout, no regex.

Scanned invoices to Excel or Dynamics

Parseur reads supplier invoices and receipts, scanned or native, and extracts vendor, date, totals, and line items. Your flow adds a row to Excel or a record in Dynamics 365 for every invoice.

Outlook emails to a SharePoint list

Parseur captures the fields buried in order confirmations, support requests, and web form notifications that land in Outlook. Each email becomes a new item in your SharePoint list.

Purchase orders to any Microsoft app

Parseur extracts PO number, buyer, delivery date, and every line from purchase orders that arrive in a different layout from each customer. Power Automate routes the data to SQL Server, Teams, or an approval flow.

How it works

How the Power Automate 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 Power Automate

Parseur pushes the parsed data straight to Power Automate in real time with the native integration.

What is Power Automate?

Power Automate is a cloud-based system that enables you to create automated workflows across different applications. Just like Zapier, with Power Automate, you can send, process, and receive data from Microsoft applications like Outlook, Excel, SharePoint, Dynamics 365, SQL Server and others.

Trusted for native integrations in production

Emonkey, an integration platform for accounting systems across Scandinavia, receives client documents by email and pushes the extracted data straight into automation workflows, the same real-time push the Parseur connector for Power Automate uses. Founder Piet Deprez has run Parseur in production for years without a single outage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about using Parseur as the OCR and email parsing layer for Power Automate.

Power Automate can run text recognition through AI Builder in cloud flows and through OCR actions in Power Automate Desktop, but both return raw text rather than named fields. Parseur adds the missing layer: its built-in AI reads scanned PDFs, images, and emails, returns structured fields such as invoice number, total, and line items, and triggers your flow with that data through the official Parseur connector.

Not on its own, but with Parseur it can. Forward the email with its PDF attachment to your Parseur mailbox, or let Parseur pick it up from OneDrive. Parseur's Vision AI reads native and scanned PDFs, extracts the fields you named, and the Parseur trigger starts your flow with those fields ready to map.

Yes. Parseur extracts the fields from the attachment, and a "Create item" action in your flow writes them into the SharePoint list column by column. The same flow can store the original file in a document library and post a Teams message, all from one Parseur trigger.

Yes. Parseur is GDPR compliant and SOC 2 Type II compliant, encrypts data in transit and at rest, and delivers parsed data to Power Automate over HTTPS. You control retention in your Parseur mailbox, and the original documents never need to leave your Microsoft tenant if you only forward what needs parsing.

Yes. Azure Logic Apps shares its connector library with Power Automate, so the Parseur trigger works there as well, and Parseur also delivers data through webhooks and an API for custom setups. Power Apps can then read the data from wherever your flow stored it, such as Dataverse, SharePoint, or SQL Server.

Use Parseur when your documents arrive by email, come in many layouts, or need line items and tables extracted reliably. AI Builder works well for a handful of stable document types inside a Microsoft-only setup. Parseur handles the email intake, the OCR, and the field extraction for any layout without training a model per format, then hands Power Automate clean data.

Auto-forward the emails to your Parseur mailbox and name the fields you want, such as customer name, order number, and amount. Parseur's Text AI extracts them from any email layout, HTML or plain text, and sends each email as one structured record to your Power Automate flow. This replaces the fragile split and substring expressions people build in Power Automate to parse email bodies.

The Parseur connector triggers a flow every time a document is processed in the mailbox you select. You search for "Parseur" as the trigger in a new automated cloud flow, connect with the API key from your Parseur account, pick the mailbox, and every extracted field appears as dynamic content in the next steps.

Parseur pricing is per document processed, with a free plan that includes AI extraction and the Power Automate connector so you can test the full flow first. The connector itself is a standard Power Automate connector, so it does not require AI Builder credits.

Pick Power Automate when your data lives in Microsoft 365, Dynamics, SharePoint, or SQL Server, since the connectors and licensing are already in place. Zapier is the fastest path to non-Microsoft apps, and Make suits complex visual workflows. Parseur connects natively to all three, and the Zapier vs Make vs Power Automate comparison goes through the trade-offs.
