Executive Summary
Piet Deprez, founder of Emonkey, builds API integrations for accounting systems across Scandinavia. His platform receives flat files from clients via email and routes them through Make.com-based automation workflows. After hitting the limits of Gmail aliases, which had no webhook support, Piet switched to Parseur. Years later, it remains one of the only tools in his stack with a perfect uptime record.
The challenge
Emonkey provides seamless API integrations with accounting systems, helping Scandinavian businesses automate the flow of financial data across their tools and platforms. At the core of this is an OEM iPaaS platform built on Make.com, which requires reliable, webhook-enabled email intake to function.
Gmail aliases were not enough
Before Parseur, Emonkey used Gmail aliases to receive flat files from clients. The approach worked at a basic level but had a critical limitation: no webhook support. Without webhooks, triggering downstream automation in Make.com required manual steps, which defeated the purpose of building an automated workflow platform.
The setup was also not built for production use at scale. As Emonkey grew its client base and the number of integrations they managed, the limitations of the Gmail approach became harder to work around.
The solution
Piet implemented Parseur to replace the Gmail alias setup with a proper, webhook-enabled email intake system. Parseur mailboxes now receive flat files from clients, apply custom templates for data extraction, and trigger Make.com workflows automatically via webhooks.
Fast to configure, easy to scale
Setting up a new client mailbox or adjusting a template takes minutes. As Emonkey onboards new clients or expands integrations, the configuration overhead stays low.
Historical document reprocessing
One of the features Piet values most is the ability to reprocess historical documents. When setting up a new automation or troubleshooting an issue, being able to re-run past documents through the pipeline without waiting for new files to arrive saves significant time.
Of all SaaS applications we use, and that is a lot, Parseur is one of the few without any downtime. Combined with excellent support, I can only recommend Parseur from A to Z. - Piet Deprez, Founder
The results
For a company whose core product depends on reliable automation, Parseur's track record has been its most important quality.
Zero downtime over years of use
Emonkey has been running Parseur in production for several years. In that time, Parseur has had no downtime, a rare achievement among the many SaaS tools in their stack. For a platform that clients depend on for their financial workflows, reliability is not a nice-to-have.
Webhook-enabled intake from day one
Switching from Gmail aliases to Parseur immediately unlocked the webhook capability Emonkey needed to build proper automation flows. Incoming files now trigger Make.com workflows automatically, without any manual intervention.
Easy to maintain as the client base grows
Adding new mailboxes and templates as Emonkey onboards new clients is straightforward. The operational overhead of managing the email intake layer stays flat as the business scales.
Support that goes beyond troubleshooting
Piet highlights not just the reliability of the product but the quality of support. When questions arise, the Parseur team is responsive and helpful, which matters when the tool is embedded in a client-facing automation product.
Looking forward
Emonkey plans to explore Parseur's newer OCR features as part of expanding what their platform can handle. As accounting workflows increasingly involve scanned documents and mixed file formats, having a parsing layer that can handle that complexity is a natural next step.
