Is your inbox filled with expenses at the end of the month?

Keep reading about how to automate this part of your life so that you can focus on other productive tasks.

We are going on a quest to create credit notes automatically in Xero, like Frodo on his quest with the Dark Lord Sauron's Ring.

The beginning of the quest with Parseur

Parseur is an invoice extractor used to capture invoice data automatically and accurately. The invoice processing tool is integrated with artificial intelligence and Optical character recognition (OCR) to ensure high accuracy.

  • Parseur receives an invoice and extracts specific data from it using Zonal OCR and Dynamic OCR
  • Parseur exports the invoice data to Zapier.
  • Zapier creates a credit note in Xero instantly.

To use this integration, you will need:

Step 1: Create an expense mailbox in Parseur

Parseur is free to start with all the features available on the plan. Once you've created your expense mailbox, upload or drag and drop one of the invoices into it.

From there, you can tell Zapier which data to use to create a bill in Xero. If it doesn't find the customer in Xero, Zapier will create a new contact in Xero as well.
