Document Ingestion Options
There are 3 main ways to upload documents to the Affinda platform. Documents can be ingested through multiple channels, depending on the user's workflow:
- Manual Upload: Uploading documents manually via the Affinda app
- Email Integration: Automatically fetching documents from a linked email account. See here for more information
- Automated via API: Ingesting documents from other systems like CRMs or ERPs using API integrations or workflow automation tools
Affinda assigns each document a unique identifier during ingestion, ensuring traceability throughout the workflow.
Supported Formats
Text-based formats: PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, ODT, RTF, TXT, HTML
Image-based formats: PNG, JPG, TIFF, JEPG
Best Practices
- Use high-resolution scans or images
- Files should ideally be uncompressed to ensure optimal extraction accuracy
