You can pause, resume, or delete parsers from Parser Settings → Danger Zone.

1. Open your parser and go to Settings → Parser Settings.
2. Scroll to the Danger Zone section at the bottom.

When you pause a parser, it stops processing new documents. Existing processed documents remain accessible.

When to pause:

• Temporarily stop processing (e.g. during maintenance, when testing changes)
• Prevent new uploads from being processed
• Save credits if you're not actively using the parser

What happens:

• New documents are not processed (they stay in "Processing" status)
• Existing documents remain accessible
• Email processing stops (emails are received but not processed)
• API uploads are received but not processed

To pause: Click Pause Parser in the Danger Zone and confirm.

When you resume a paused parser, it starts processing documents again.

What happens:

• Pending documents (that were uploaded while paused) start processing
• New uploads are processed normally
• Email processing resumes
• API uploads are processed normally

To resume: Click Resume Parser in the Danger Zone and confirm.

Deleting a parser permanently removes it and all its data:

• All documents
• All extracted data
• Field configurations
• Settings and integrations

This action cannot be undone.

When to delete:

• You no longer need the parser
• You're cleaning up old or test parsers
• You want to start fresh with a new parser

Before deleting:

• Export data you want to keep (if any)
• Export schema if you want to reuse the field setup
• Make sure you really want to delete it

To delete: Click Delete Parser in the Danger Zone, read the warning, and confirm.

• Pause instead of delete: If you might need the parser later, pause it instead of deleting
• Backup before delete: Export data and schema before deleting if you might need them
• Check dependencies: Make sure no integrations or workflows depend on the parser before deleting
