Invoice → Parse

Overview

This node parses invoice documents using the PDF Vector API. It supports input as either a public URL to the invoice file or binary data from a previous node. The node uses AI models to extract structured data from invoices, which can be useful for automating invoice processing, data entry, and financial workflows. For example, it can parse PDF, DOCX, XLSX, CSV, PNG, or JPG invoice files to extract key invoice details automatically.

Use Case Examples

  1. Automate extraction of invoice details from PDF files hosted online by providing the invoice URL.
  2. Parse invoice data from binary file data obtained from a previous node in a workflow, such as an email attachment or file upload.

Properties

Name Meaning
Input Type Specifies how the invoice file is provided to the node, either via a public URL or binary data from a previous node.
Invoice URL The public URL of the invoice file to parse. Required if Input Type is URL.
Input Binary Field The name of the binary property containing the invoice file data from a previous node. Required if Input Type is Binary Data.
Model The AI model tier used for parsing the invoice. Higher tiers offer more accuracy and support for complex documents but cost more credits.
Document ID Optional identifier for usage tracking, returned in the response.

Output

JSON

  • invoiceData - The structured data extracted from the invoice document by the AI parsing model.
  • documentId - The optional document identifier provided for usage tracking, returned in the response.
  • modelUsed - The AI model tier used for parsing the invoice.
  • rawResponse - The full raw response from the PDF Vector API containing detailed parsing results.

Dependencies

  • An API key credential for the PDF Vector API is required to authenticate requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the invoice file URL is publicly accessible if using URL input type, otherwise the node will fail to fetch the file.
  • If using binary data input, verify the binary property name matches the actual property name from the previous node.
  • Check that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient credits for the selected AI model tier.
  • Common errors include network issues, invalid file formats, or unsupported document types. Review error messages for specific causes and adjust inputs accordingly.
