Creating Parsers

A parser is a setup that tells DigiParser what type of documents to process and what information to extract. You create a parser once, then use it for all similar documents.

How to create a parser

From the sidebar

  1. In your team, click Create Document Parser in the sidebar.
  2. You’ll see a setup flow with three steps:
    • Step 1: Create your document parser
    • Step 2: Upload document
    • Step 3: View extracted data

From the Parsers page

  1. Go to the Parsers page (e.g. from your team dashboard or app navigation).
  2. Click Add Parser.
  3. You’ll go through the same setup flow (create parser → upload document → view extracted data).

Step 1: Create your document parser

In the first step, you:

  1. Enter a Parser Name: Give it a clear name (e.g. “My Invoices”, “Client Receipts”, “Q1 Bank Statements”). This name appears in your parser list and helps you find it later.

  2. Choose a Document Processing Type: Pick the type that best matches your documents. You can:

    • Search for a type using the search box
    • Browse the list of available types

Common types include:

  • Custom document – DigiParser detects fields automatically
  • Invoice – For invoices and receipts
  • Purchase order – For purchase orders
  • Bank statement – For bank statements and transaction tables
  • Resume – For CVs and resumes
  • Payslip – For salary slips
  • Expense report – For expense reports
  • And more...
  1. Click Next to continue.

Tip: Choose the document type that best matches your documents. This helps DigiParser use the right extraction mode and improves accuracy. See Choosing Document Type for more details.

Step 2: Upload document

In the second step, you upload a document to test your parser:

  1. Click the upload area or drag and drop a file.
  2. For some document types, a sample document is offered—you can use it to test instead of uploading your own.
  3. Wait for processing to finish (usually a few seconds per page).

Step 3: View extracted data

When processing finishes, you’ll be taken to your Document Inbox for the new parser. You’ll see:

  • Left: Your uploaded document in the document list
  • Right: The extracted data in a table

What happens after creation

Once your parser is created:

  • It appears under Document Parsers in the sidebar (as well as on the Parsers page)
  • You can upload more documents to it anytime
  • You can configure Fields & Tables to control what gets extracted
  • You can set up Integrations to export data automatically
  • You can adjust Parser Settings (email processing, splitting documents, etc.)
