Automate your invoice data extraction with Swiftask and ConvertAPI

Swiftask partners with ConvertAPI to turn your PDF invoices into actionable data instantly. No more manual entry, just intelligent automation.

Result:

Save hours of daily work by automating the processing and integration of your invoices into your management tools.

Manual invoice entry slows down your growth

Processing supplier invoices remains a major bottleneck. Receiving, reading, extracting amounts, dates, VAT numbers, and then entering them into accounting software is a repetitive, error-prone, and costly task.

Main negative impacts:

  • Costly input errors: Human intervention is the primary source of errors in financial reporting. A single misentered digit can lead to tax consequences.
  • Excessive processing delays: Time spent manually processing each invoice delays accounting closings and visibility into your cash flow.
  • High operational costs: Increasing the number of invoices proportionally increases the need for administrative staff, limiting your scalability.

Swiftask orchestrates the process: it retrieves your invoices, uses ConvertAPI to perform OCR and data extraction, and then transmits the structured information to your ERP or accounting software.

BEFORE / AFTER

What changes with Swiftask

The manual process

You receive an invoice by email. You open it, manually copy the total amount, due date, and supplier into your management software. If you have 50 invoices, this task takes several hours per week.

The Swiftask + ConvertAPI workflow

The invoice arrives in your mailbox. The Swiftask agent detects it, automatically sends it to ConvertAPI for OCR, retrieves the structured data (JSON), and injects it directly into your accounting tool. Human time: 0 minutes.

Setting up your OCR pipeline in 4 steps

STEP 1 : Trigger configuration

Define the invoice reception source: email, cloud folder (Drive/Dropbox), or webhook.

STEP 2 : ConvertAPI integration

Connect your ConvertAPI key in Swiftask to enable file transformation and high-performance OCR.

STEP 3 : Intelligent extraction with AI agent

The AI agent extracts key fields (Total, Date, Supplier) from the OCR results provided by ConvertAPI.

STEP 4 : Data export

Configure the data destination: export to Excel, Google Sheets, ERP, or your accounting software via API.

Document processing capabilities

The agent analyzes document structure to identify accounting entities, even across varied invoice formats.

  • Target connector: The agent performs the right actions in convertapi based on event context.
  • Automated actions: Format conversion (PDF, images to text), structured data extraction, automatic total validation, conditional routing based on supplier.
  • Native governance: Swiftask ensures every step of the process is documented to provide a clear audit trail.

Each action is contextualized and executed automatically at the right time.

Each Swiftask agent uses a dedicated identity (e.g. agent-convertapi@swiftask.ai ). You keep full visibility on every action and every sent message.

Key takeaway: The agent automates repetitive decisions and leaves high-value actions to your teams.
