🔁 Zapier Integration

Zapier is an online automation tool that allows you to connect different web services together. It bridges the gap between apps that may not naturally communicate with each other, thereby automating part of your workflows. The platform is compatible with over 5,000 online services, ranging from email and database systems to cloud storage and customer relationship management tools.

The core components of a Zapier automation are called "Zaps." A Zap consists of a "Trigger" and one or more "Actions." For example, Airparser sending data could serve as the Trigger that initiates the automation process. Once the Trigger event occurs, Zapier activates the Action, which could be something like adding new rows to a Google Sheets spreadsheet.

I used Google Sign Up to create an account. How can I create a password?

To create a Zap, you'll need your Airparser credentials (e.g., email and password). If you signed up with Google and don't have a password, follow these steps to create one:

1. Log out of your Airparser account.

2. Go to https://app.airparser.com/forgot.

3. Click the link you receive via email to create a new password.

You can then continue to use Google Sign In or log in to Airparser with your email and new password.

Available Triggers and Actions

Trigger: Document parsed

Triggers when a document is parsed (either a new or previously uploaded document).

Automation examples

• Export parsed data in real time to Google Sheets or Airtable

• Send Slack notifications when new documents are parsed

• Import invoice data into accounting software (e.g., QuickBooks)

• Import contact data into a CRM

• Automatically create Trello cards from parsed documents

Action: Extract data from a document

Imports a document into an Airparser inbox, waits for parsing to complete, and returns the extracted data — all in a single step.

A document can be: A file, plain text, an external URL.

Note: If parsing takes longer than 60 seconds, the action returns immediately with parsing_in_progress: true. You can retrieve the extracted data later using the Document parsed trigger.

Automation examples

• Parse a document from an external URL

• Extract data from a webpage

• Extract structured data from documents received from other apps

• Automatically import files into Airparser from Dropbox, Google Drive, and other storage services

Action: Extract data from a document (async)

Imports a document and immediately returns the document ID, without waiting for parsing to complete.

You can then use the Document parsed trigger to retrieve the extracted data once parsing is finished.

Note: For most use cases, the Extract data from a document action is recommended because it returns parsed data in a single step.

Automation examples

• Import large files asynchronously

• Process batches of documents

• Trigger downstream workflows once parsing is completed via the Document parsed trigger
