Document workflows

Extract structured records from inbound attachments

MailSlurp handles document intake inside the email workflow so attachments can be captured, interpreted, and handed off without manual mailbox triage.

Receive attachments where the documents already arrive

Capture invoices, forms, and operational files from inbound email instead of asking suppliers or customers to adopt a separate upload flow.

Treat each attachment as its own extraction target

Map AI transformers to run once per attachment so document-heavy inboxes can process each file independently when a single message contains several records.

Extract text and schema-shaped business fields

Use attachment text extraction and structured AI outputs to turn PDFs and document payloads into the fields finance, support, or operations systems actually need.

Route results into downstream approval and ops systems

Deliver extracted records through webhook-driven handoff so ERPs, queues, and internal apps receive machine-readable document data instead of inbox clutter.

OCR workflows

Key workflows

Invoice and attachment workflows fail when OCR is separated from routing and exception handling. Capture, extraction, and downstream delivery need one operational path.

Workflow 01

Capture invoices and documents where they already arrive

Keep inbound OCR workflows inside the same email platform used for aliases, attachments, and operational routing.

Workflow 02

Convert raw documents into schema-friendly fields

Extract the fields your downstream system actually needs instead of moving unstructured files from inbox to inbox.

Workflow 03

Route extracted data into approval and ops systems

Push OCR results into queues, ERPs, CRMs, or internal services with the same webhook-driven handoff model.

Developer integration

Push inbound events into queues, CRMs, and internal systems

Use SDKs and webhook handlers to transform inbound messages into structured downstream work without mailbox sprawl.

  • Webhook-first ingestion patterns
  • Schema-friendly parsing and extraction
  • One integration model across routing and OCR workflows
