using an agent to extract structured data from unstructured emails
Jan 16167
we receive about 100 vendor invoices per day via email. theyre all in different formats - some are PDFs, some are in the email body, some are forwarded chains. extracting the invoice number, amount, vendor name, and due date manually takes our AP team hours
has anyone used a tinyagent to parse these emails and extract the structured data into a table? the AI understanding part seems perfect for this since the data is there but never in the same format
thinking: email forwarding triggers a workflow > agent reads the email/attachment > extracts fields > writes to invoice table
would love to hear if anyones done something like this and how accurate it is
