A file pipeline that runs without you

Watch-folder automation for documents: split, convert, rename and file, the same way every time.

  • Watch a folder or inbox

    Point a rule at a folder or an email inbox.

  • Scans split correctly

    Multi-document scans are split at the right boundaries.

  • Converted to your format

    Each document is converted to the target format.

  • Named from the content

    Fields such as client name and date are extracted and used to rename the file to your template.

  • Filed in the right place

    Documents are filed into the correct destination in cloud storage or a document management system.

  • Exceptions and daily reports

    Errors go to an exception folder with a reason, and it reports daily on what it processed.

The problem

Plenty of tools convert one file. Almost nothing handles the recurring pipeline, where scanned documents arrive by email every morning and must be split, converted, named by their content and dropped into the right client folder.

Somebody does that by hand every day, and it is the most tedious work in the building.

Who it is for

  • Law firms and medical practices

    Offices with a recurring flow of files that must be converted, renamed and routed the same way every day.

  • Operations and media teams

    Teams processing the same kinds of files daily, and routing them by hand.

  • Print shops

    Shops handling a steady flow of files that need converting, renaming and filing.

Into cloud storage or a document management system. Document management system connectors are on the 149 dollar plan.
What happens when something goes wrong?
The file goes to an exception folder, with the reason.
Do I need to supervise it?
No. It runs unattended and reports daily on what it processed.
Is there a free plan?
