Question

Extracting text from a PDF and sending it directly in an email body

I’m new and I don’t have much technical knowledge.

I’m trying to do the next steps:

  1. A user sends an email with a PDF to Tally (digital text without images).
  2. PDF.co extracts the text.
  3. Send the text extracted directly to an email in the body.

I can’t get step 3, so the extracted text appears on a document on a link, but not directly in the body of the email.

Somebody can help me?

Thanks.

@orteguilla 
Could you show your configuration so we can see, it may help in determining what’s going wrong.

The response from PDF.co is that the text or a link to the file. Does the text exist in the response from them and how are you adding it to the email.

In this step the PDF (that is only a sentence) is splitted in a lot of parts

In this step I can’t find the text of the PDF and I can select it to send the email with it on the body

Hi ​@orteguilla 

Looks like Zap step 2 did not actually parse any data.

For us to have more info, post screenshots showing how Zap step 2 is configured in EDIT mode with the field mappings visible.
