Automation recipe · Documents & Data Entry

Turn forms and documents into database records

Purchase orders, contracts, applications and forms become structured rows — no retyping.

Workflow

  1. 01Document arrives
  2. 02Extract fields
  3. 03Validate
  4. 04Write record
  5. 05File & rename
The problem

Information lives in PDFs, scans and filled-in forms — purchase orders, contracts, applications. Getting it into a spreadsheet or system means manual data entry.

What the automation does

Documents are collected from email, upload or a shared folder; the relevant fields are extracted, validated and written to a spreadsheet, database or business application. Files are renamed and filed consistently.

The benefit

Searchable, structured data from documents you already receive — and a tidy document archive.

How it works

  1. 01

    Define the fields you need from each document type.

  2. 02

    Documents are classified by type, then the relevant fields are extracted.

  3. 03

    Values are validated (formats, required fields, lookups) before records are written.

  4. 04

    Originals are renamed with a consistent convention and filed in the right folder.

Human in the loop. Documents that fail validation are flagged for review instead of being guessed.
