In this tutorial, we'll show you how to integrate Eden AI's [Invoice parser API](https://www.edenai.co/feature/ocr-invoice-parsing-apis) into your CRM to help streamline your financial operations and free up time for more important tasks.

‍

Whether you're a developer or a non-technical user, this guide is designed to help you automate your process with the power of AI. The same process applies if you want to include other features like : [Image tagging](https://www.edenai.co/feature/object-detection-apis), [Explicit content detection](https://www.edenai.co/feature/explicit-content-detection-apis), [Text analysis](https://www.edenai.co/technologies/text?referral=identity-parsing-available) and many other AI APIs we offer.

‍

## **Build AI on Monday.com with Eden AI**
Eden AI was created for no-coders having difficulties with choosing the right AI provider and/or integrating several APIs. Managing multiple accounts can be a tough job, but with Eden AI, you can connect and manage all your APIs on a single account.

Since some AI providers can be complex to use, we wanted to simplify the “no code” part and make AI available to as many people as possible. 

‍

Eden AI allows you to solve multiple AI tasks on Monday.com :

[Computer vision](https://www.edenai.co/feature/object-detection-apis) : detect [faces](https://www.edenai.co/feature/face-detection-apis), [objects](https://www.edenai.co/feature/object-detection-apis), logos, [explicit content](https://www.edenai.co/feature/explicit-content-detection-apis), etc.
Text analysis : [sentiment analysis](https://www.edenai.co/feature/sentiment-analysis-apis), [keyword extraction](https://www.edenai.co/feature/keyword-extraction-apis), [summarization](https://www.edenai.co/feature/summarization-apis), etc.
[Machine Translation](https://www.edenai.co/post/best-machine-translation-apis?referral=identity-parsing-available)
[Speech recognition](https://www.edenai.co/post/which-speech-recognition-api-to-choose-for-your-project?referral=identity-parsing-available) & Speech generation
‍

## **Let's process your invoices!**
Just like [Receipt](https://www.edenai.co/post/top-10-ocr-receipt-parser-api?referral=identity-parsing-available) and [Resume](https://www.edenai.co/post/top-10-ocr-resume-parser-api?referral=identity-parsing-available) Parsing, [Invoice Parsing](https://www.edenai.co/feature/ocr-invoice-parsing-apis?referral=identity-parsing-available) is a tool powered by [OCR](https://www.edenai.co/post/analyze-easily-document-files-with-ai-optical-character-recognition-ocr?referral=identity-parsing-available) to extract and digitalize meaningful data, [Computer Vision](https://www.edenai.co/post/best-computer-vision-apis?referral=identity-parsing-available) to identify structure of the document, and [NLP](https://www.edenai.co/post/best-natural-language-processing-apis?referral=identity-parsing-available) techniques to pin down the fields.

Invoice parser technology extracts key information from an invoice (.pdf, .png or .jpg format) such as the invoice ID, total amount due, invoice date, customer name, etc.

Invoice Processing implies the necessity of software and technology to automate the processing and management of invoices. It includes tasks such as capturing invoice data, validating it in comparison to purchase orders, and routing it for approval, payment and archiving.

The goal of AI in invoice processing is to improve efficiency, accuracy, and speed in handling invoices without any human intervention.

## **How to bring invoice parsing to Monday.com with Make?**
If you're looking for an easier and faster way to implement invoice parsing to your workflow, simply access the following [invoice parser template](https://www.make.com/en/templates/10502-extract-informations-from-invoices-on-gmail-into-monday?referral=identity-parsing-available):

‍

The following tutorial will teach you how to automate the data extraction from your invoices with Eden AI and add it on Monday.com. 

‍

**1. Watch emails & Iterate attachments**
First, you have to set up the Watch emails module to indicate which emails you are interested in: 


![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/orej7bxr3qck6dt6jx0u.png)
‍

Then, add Iterate Attachments. This module will allow you to parse all emails attachments:

‍

**2. Connect your invoice parser API key**
Once you’ve made sure that the above parameters will fetch all invoices from your Gmail account, you can connect Eden AI’s invoice parser module. 

To do so, first [create an account on Eden AI](https://app.edenai.run/user/register?referral=invoice-parser-monday-make) to locate your API key: 


‍

‍

[**Get your API key for FREE**](https://app.edenai.run/user/register?referral=invoice-parser-monday-make)

Then, enter your API key on Eden AI’s invoice parser module: 


![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/pisse9rbbaby1s90p6sr.png)
‍

Next, select the language of the invoices as well as the providers from which you will retrieve information:

‍‍

**3. Connect to Monday.com & add a new item to your board**
It’s time to log in to your Monday.com account!


![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/gvfdmszjiaqez2oxuih9.png)
‍

First, select the data you want to parse on Monday.com with the Create an Item module, which will add a new item to your board with the chosen data: 


![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/iv16h9z0hlbst8j1i8t1.png)

‍
![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/a0b6tqq9lil85currk8g.png)


Note that if you want to extract taxes you will need to add an Iterator module in between: 


![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/ysiwwxzhdflvuuh0mhkb.png)

This module allows you to access to the elements of a Make array, which is an Array of items of the same type (in this case collections).

‍

In the example below, you can access the different elements of Taxes array (the different taxes collections): 


![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/aa3twlpdng7cudswwhlm.png)

Each array item will output as a separate bundle.

‍

Back in your Monday.com module, you can retrieve the data with the field "Value" from the iterator:


![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/lrci92gq0xevu02trjn7.png)
‍

Run once to check that everything works correctly. Then, your data will be written in your board as such:

Congrats! You're all set and ready to automate your invoice processing !
