Introduction

Welcome to Document Parser by cloudHQ. Here’s a helpful guide to get you started.

You can get started right away by either uploading your documents or forwarding your emails. Let’s take a look in this step-by-step guide: 

Create your unique mailbox ID

The first step is to set up a unique mailbox ID. This is a parsing job definition where you define:

• what you want to extract from documents (like invoice ID, amount, etc.)
• a unique mailbox ID to which you can forward emails or documents for parsing

Let’s get started:

1. Open the Document Parser dashboard. The direct link is: https://www.cloudhq.net/doc_parser
2. Click + Create Mailbox to begin.
   
3. For parsing, you can upload documents or forward your emails.
   

Uploading documents to parse

Let’s start by uploading your documents. Follow this guide: 

1. Drag and drop your files or click to choose them in the Drop your documents here or select files box to upload.
   
2. Our system processes the document and suggests what to extract. This usually takes a few minutes depending on your document size. You can instruct our system to extract items like Invoice ID, Amount, etc.
3. Download your spreadsheet after the parsing is finished.
   

Forwarding emails and attachments to parse

After choosing what information to extract and testing it by uploading documents, forward your emails.

1. Copy your unique forwarding email address.
   
2. Go to your inbox, and forward any email you want parsed to your unique forwarding email address. We suggest forwarding emails as attachments.
   
3. Wait a few minutes for the emails to be parsed. Download the spreadsheet of your parsed email.
