Not sure how this would be possible without using any other paid services beyond  Zapier.

I get a lot of PDF documents sent to my work gmail.

I want to be able to be alerted if the pdfs have certain keywords I set.

Hi @IcarusZaps 

Good question.

Perhaps try using this Zap action: PDF.co - Search in PDF

hmm, Ok, I’ll try that. Next question:

How would I get the pdf to pdf.co?

typically they are emailed to me.
