HOW IT WORKS

  1. 01

    FORWARD THE INVOICE

    Set up an auto-forward rule in your email client. Every invoice from any vendor goes to your unique ParseHook address. No setup per vendor required.

  2. 02

    AI EXTRACTS THE DATA

    ParseHook reads the invoice and extracts: invoice number, amount, currency, vendor, issue date, due date, and line items. Works on any format.

  3. 03

    DATA HITS YOUR SYSTEM

    Structured JSON fires to your webhook instantly. Connect to QuickBooks, Xero, Airtable, or any REST API. No Zapier required.

QUESTIONS

Does ParseHook work with any invoice format?

Yes. ParseHook uses AI, not templates. It reads plain text, HTML emails, and any layout. The more invoices it sees from a sender, the better it gets.

Can ParseHook extract line items from invoices?

Yes. When invoices contain itemized line items, ParseHook extracts them as a structured array including description, quantity, and unit price.

How accurate is invoice parsing?

ParseHook achieves 99%+ field accuracy on standard invoice formats. Accuracy improves as patterns are learned from repeat senders.

Can I connect parsed invoices directly to QuickBooks?

Yes. ParseHook sends structured JSON via webhook. You can connect to QuickBooks, Xero, Airtable, or any REST API. Pre-built integration guides are available for popular tools.

What if an invoice email has a PDF attachment?

PDF attachment parsing is available on Pro and Business plans. ParseHook extracts data from digital-born PDFs just like email bodies. No extra setup required.

Which vendors and billing systems does ParseHook support?

Any vendor that sends invoice emails. ParseHook is format-agnostic — AWS, Stripe, Shopify suppliers, freelancers, SaaS tools, and custom billing systems all work without per-vendor configuration.

How quickly does ParseHook deliver the structured JSON?

Within 5 seconds from email receipt to webhook delivery. Your accounting system is updated before you could manually open the invoice.

Can I extract VAT or tax amounts from invoices?

Yes. ParseHook extracts tax fields including VAT, GST, and sales tax amounts when present in the invoice email body.
