Converting Emailed PDF Order Forms into Structured JSON Using Fin

Can Fin read customer order forms sent by email as PDF attachments, including ones with complex or multi-column layouts, and convert the data into a standard JSON format? If not, can we use a workflow or integration in Fin to reliably process these documents and ensure the final output is in JSON format?

    ​@jgrace  We are talking about this now for you on the Fin Office Hours right now if you want to join us! Or you can watch the replay! 
     

    I’m talking with ​@Roy another community expert here and we really think this is possible with Fin and Procedures to take in the data from the PDF and then have Fin format it into the json format -- if you end goal is sending that to another API then you can use that to communicate with a data connector from within that same Procedure.
     

    Give this a try and let us know how it goes!

    Please advise if this is possible. We have a variety of forms, and they are not known in advance when they send to our inbox.
