Zapier

DocParse has an official Zapier integration in progress (currently in private beta ā€” request early access in the dashboard). Until it's live in the Zapier marketplace, you can wire DocParse to any of Zapier's 5,000+ apps today using Webhooks by Zapier ā€” the built-in app for webhook-driven workflows.

The webhook ā†’ Zapier pattern

Use a "Webhooks by Zapier" trigger configured as Catch Hook. Paste the resulting Zapier URL into the DocParse dashboard's API ā†’ Webhook Settings. Every DocParse event becomes a Zap trigger you can use to drive any other Zapier action.

Step-by-step

  1. In Zapier: create a new Zap.
  2. Trigger ā†’ search for Webhooks by Zapier ā†’ choose Catch Hook. Skip the optional "child key" field.
  3. Zapier shows a unique URL like https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/catch/.... Copy it.
  4. In DocParse: open the dashboard ā†’ API ā†’ Webhook Settings ā†’ Create a new endpoint. Paste the Zapier URL. Save.
  5. Back in Zapier, click Test trigger. In DocParse, click the Send test event button on your new endpoint. Zapier should show the event payload.
  6. Action ā†’ pick any of Zapier's 5,000+ apps. Common patterns:
    • Google Sheets ā€” Create Spreadsheet Row to log every parsed document.
    • Slack ā€” Send Channel Message to ping a channel when an extraction needs review.
    • Gmail ā€” Send Email to forward extracted invoice totals.

Filtering events

The webhook payload has a type field (e.g. file.processed, extraction.completed). Use Zapier's Filter step to only proceed on the events you care about:

Only continue if type (Text) Exactly matches file.processed

Common workflows

  • Extract data from Google Drive ā†’ log to Google Sheets ā€” pair Drive's New File trigger with our POST /extractions/.../batches upload, then catch our file.processed webhook to a Sheets row.
  • Notify Slack on extraction completion ā€” extraction.completed webhook ā†’ Slack message.
  • Email new contracts ā€” file.classified (category "Contract") ā†’ Email by Zapier.

When the official integration ships

The official DocParse Zapier app removes the manual webhook setup ā€” you'll just connect your DocParse account via OAuth in Zapier and pick from pre-built triggers (New Extraction Completed, New File Classified) and actions (Upload File for Extraction, Get Result).

Until then, the webhook + Catch Hook pattern above achieves identical outcomes with about 2 extra minutes of setup per Zap.
