Parseur

Interact with Parseur to upload text or files

Actions2

Overview

This node integrates with the Parseur service to upload text or files to a specified mailbox. The "Upload Text" operation allows users to send HTML or plain text content as a document directly to a mailbox email address managed by Parseur. This is useful for automating document ingestion workflows where textual data needs to be parsed and processed, such as sending invoices, receipts, or any structured text documents to Parseur for extraction.

Practical examples:

  • Automatically sending order confirmation emails (as HTML content) to a Parseur mailbox for data extraction.
  • Uploading plain text reports or logs to Parseur for parsing and further automation.
  • Sending dynamically generated email content from other systems into Parseur without needing to create actual email messages.

Properties

Name Meaning
Mailbox Email Email address of the Parseur mailbox where the document will be sent.
Subject Subject line for the uploaded document, used to identify or categorize the submission.
Sender Optional email address of the sender; can be used to specify who the document is from.
HTML Content The main content of the document in HTML or plain text format to be uploaded.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Parseur API after uploading the text document. This typically includes metadata about the uploaded document such as its ID, status, and any relevant processing information returned by Parseur.

No binary data output is involved in this operation since it deals with text content only.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active Parseur account and a configured API key credential within n8n to authenticate requests.
  • The node depends on the Parseur API endpoint for uploading text documents.
  • Proper configuration of the mailbox email in Parseur is necessary to receive the uploaded documents.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing mailbox email: Ensure the mailbox email is correctly entered and exists in your Parseur account.
    • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
    • Empty or malformed HTML content: Confirm that the "HTML Content" property contains valid text or HTML; empty content may cause the upload to fail.

  • Error messages:

    • Unknown operation: This error occurs if the operation parameter is set incorrectly. Make sure "Upload Text" is selected.
    • API errors related to authentication or mailbox not found usually indicate misconfiguration of credentials or mailbox email.

Resolving these typically involves checking the input parameters, ensuring correct API credentials, and verifying mailbox setup in Parseur.
