Email import

Automate the extraction of data from all your attachments received by email.

Why extract your email attachments with an AI tool?

Do you receive many documents from suppliers or clients? You probably spend a lot of time handling attachments: opening them, reading them, manually entering information. With Koncile’s email integration, you eliminate this processing time. All extracted information is centralized in one place.

What is email attachment reading?

Your email attachments are automatically forwarded to Koncile through a redirection. They are then sorted and routed to the correct “AI reading grid”, meaning your document models. For each attachment type (invoice, ID document, supplier file, report, etc.), you choose which information you want to extract. All consolidated data is available directly in Koncile.

How does attachment extraction work?

Koncile’s document automation engine performs the following steps:

  1. Koncile receives the email and isolates each attachment (PDF, images, text documents, DOCX files…).
  2. For PDFs and images, Koncile applies OCR: text extraction, layout reconstruction, information block detection.
  3. The AI classifies each document and sends it to the correct extraction model.
  4. The data you configured is extracted, structured, and enriched (formatting, validation, normalization).

Concrete examples of usage

Frequent use cases include:

  • Automatic processing of invoices received by email: supplier name, amount, date, number, VAT, and even line items.
  • Managing supplier, client, or tenant folders in multiple languages: identity documents, proofs, contracts, certificates, administrative documents—automatically detected, sorted, and extracted.
  • Sorting and extracting multiple quotes received daily: amount, reference, products or services, conditions—without opening a single email.
  • Large-scale processing of incoming emails in generic inboxes (factures@…, compta@…, hr@…) with 24/7 extraction and zero errors.

What is the reliability of attachment extraction?

Extraction is extremely reliable: Koncile correctly identifies more than 99.8% of attachments and extracts data with high accuracy thanks to OCR and AI. Reliability may vary depending on document type and quality. Processing time ranges from 10 seconds to 1 minute for longer documents.

What if a single file contains multiple merged documents?

Koncile offers an automatic document separation feature. The system detects whether a file contains several documents, isolates them, and extracts the correct information for each one.
