Does Affinda integrate with Gmail?
Yes. Affinda's integration with Gmail connects directly to your inbox to automatically process document attachments. It monitors incoming emails, extracts and validates data from invoices, resumes, contracts and support requests, then routes that data straight to your accounting, HR or helpdesk systems. With Affinda, you can eliminate manual downloads and data entry, speed up processing and maintain complete control over your document workflows with a single, connected system.
How does the Affinda-Gmail integration work?
Affinda monitors your Gmail inbox and automatically processes document attachments as they arrive. When an email contains a PDF, image or other document file, Affinda's AI agents extract structured data such as supplier names, invoice numbers, line items, candidate details, contract terms or support ticket information - depending on the document type.
Once extracted and validated, this data is routed to your connected systems. Invoices and purchase orders flow to your accounting or ERP platform. Resumes go directly to your ATS or HR system. Contracts move to your document management system, and support requests create tickets in your helpdesk - all without manual intervention.
You control exactly how documents are processed by setting validation rules and routing logic in plain language. Auto-approve invoices from trusted suppliers, flag contracts above a certain value for review or route urgent support requests to priority queues. Affinda adapts to your workflow, not the other way around.
What types of documents can Affinda process from my Gmail?
Affinda processes any document type that arrives as a Gmail attachment, including:
- Invoices, purchase orders and receipts
- Resumes and CVs
- Contracts and agreements
- Support requests and issue reports
Our AI handles both digital files and scanned documents in any format - PDFs, images or text files. With advanced OCR and contextual understanding, Affinda achieves over 99% accuracy across any document layout or structure.
Do I need to manually upload files to Affinda from my Gmail?
No. Once you connect Affinda to your Gmail account, document processing happens automatically in the background. Affinda monitors your inbox and processes attachments as they arrive - no manual uploads required. You can also send documents to Affinda through:
- Direct upload to your Affinda workspace
- Email forwarding (manual or automatic rules)
- API integration or cloud storage connection
Once Affinda receives a document, data is extracted, validated and routed to your connected systems - whether that's accounting software, ATS platforms or helpdesk tools.
Can I define my own validation and business rules?
Yes. Affinda lets you set custom validation and business rules in plain language before data reaches your connected systems.
For example, you can configure rules to:
- Auto-approve invoices from trusted suppliers or flag amounts above your threshold
- Reject duplicate support requests or route urgent issues to priority queues
- Verify contract values match expected ranges or require review for specific terms
These checks ensure your automated workflows stay reliable, compliant and aligned with your organization's standards.
Can Affinda handle bulk invoice uploads from Gmail?
Yes. Affinda handles bulk document processing with ease. Whether you're processing a handful of invoices each month or thousands of attachments daily, the platform scales automatically to match your volume - with the same accuracy and straight-through automation.
This makes it particularly valuable for finance teams, bookkeepers and accounting departments managing high volumes of supplier documents from Gmail.

You can be up and running in minutes. Affinda's Gmail integration lets you:
- Connect your Gmail account securely via OAuth
