}No training, no complex setup. Define once, extract forever.
Create a simple YAML file that describes the fields you want to extract, names, types (string, number, date, array), and optional descriptions to guide extraction.

}A PDF-to-JSON layer between your file and your Zapier, Make, or n8n steps. Skip the home-grown parsing that breaks when the layout shifts, then map a dependable payload into the rest of your flow.
PDFs are messy (formats, scans, missing fields). We normalize the output so scenarios don’t break on the first edge case.
Use the JSON with the modules you already love: new Sheets rows, Airtable records, CRM updates, Slack, email, all without a fragile middle step between the PDF and your table.
Define exactly what you need (invoice, quote/PO, CV…). Get stable JSON you can map to Google Sheets, Airtable, or your database.
Secure processing, France/Europe hosting, GDPR compliance. No document data is stored: processing is done in memory.
Concrete flows to automate fast, connected to Zapier/n8n/Make, your database, or your CRM
Trigger a new row and CRM updates from a PDF (amount, date, supplier…).
Extract candidate fields (name, email, experience) and feed your ATS, Airtable, or a Slack notification.
Extract key dates, parties, and clauses, then create reminders, tasks, or alerts automatically.
Turn a quote/PO into structured fields to create orders, approvals, or internal requests.

Use the HTTP Request node to call ParseMyFile. We document a ready-made pattern: YAML schema, multipart body (file + yaml_file), error handling, and mapping the JSON response into the next nodes.
Connect ParseMyFile via Make’s HTTP module. Our docs walk through schema upload, PDF submission, and parsing the structured JSON in one blueprint you can duplicate.
Trigger extraction from any Zap step. Use Webhooks by Zapier (or a POST action) to send your PDF and YAML, then map the JSON fields in the next action—Sheets, CRM, Slack, and more.
