One module does the reading
Make's HTTP module sends the attachment or file to ParserBee. The response comes back parsed, with every field ready to map.
Integration · Make HTTP module
Extract invoice and PDF data in Make
Add one HTTP module to any Make scenario to send a file to ParserBee and get the fields back as data you can map into Google Sheets, Xero, QuickBooks, Slack or any other Make app.
No custom app to install OCR for scans and photos Map every field

Line items as bundles
Point an Iterator at the line items and each one becomes its own bundle, so Google Sheets gets a row per line.
Any trigger, any app
Start from Gmail, Outlook, Google Drive, Dropbox or a webhook, and send the fields to any app Make connects to.

Step by step
Build the scenario
- 1
Build a Parser Template
A Parser Template is the list of fields you want from each invoice. Upload one sample and the AI suggests the fields, or start from a ready-made one in the template library. Every supplier's layout then comes back with the same fields.

Add a trigger and split the attachments
Start with the app your documents arrive in. For email, add Gmail > Watch emails, then a Flow Control > Iterator over the email's attachments so each file runs on its own.
For a folder, use your cloud drive's watch module (for example Google Drive > Watch files in a folder) followed by its download module.

Call ParserBee with the HTTP module
Add HTTP > Make a request and set:
- URL:
https://app.parserbee.com/api/v1/extract, Method: POST - Header: name
x-api-key, value your API key (Settings > API Keys in ParserBee) - Body type: Multipart/form-data, with a text field
template_idand a file fieldfilemapped to the file name and data from the step before - Parse response: Yes
- URL:

Run once, then map the fields
Click Run once with a real invoice. Make learns the shape of the response, and your fields appear under
datain the mapping panel.Add Google Sheets > Add a row (or Xero, QuickBooks, Airtable, Slack) and map the fields. For one row per line item, put an Iterator over
data.line_itemsfirst. Turn the scenario on and set its schedule.

Files already online
Send a link instead of a file
If the document is already at a public link (a form upload, a CDN, your own system), set Body type to Raw, the content type to JSON, and send the link in file_url. The link must open without a login and return the file itself.

"template_id": "your_template_id",
"file_url": "https://example.com/invoice.pdf"

Tips for a smooth set-up
Keep Parse response on
Without it, Make returns the response as one block of text and you cannot map the fields.
Handle running out of credits
ParserBee answers 402 INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS when the balance is empty. Add an error handler to the HTTP module to alert you.
One Parser Template per document type
Use a Router with a filter per document type, and a ParserBee HTTP module with its own template_id on each route.
Files and limits
PDF, PNG, JPG, WebP and HEIC files up to 50 MB. Each extraction costs 1 page credit per page.
Make operations
Each module run counts as a Make operation on your Make plan, separate from ParserBee page credits.
No scenario needed?
To fill a sheet or a base, the built-in Google Sheets and Airtable integrations need no Make scenario at all.
FAQ
Make questions
Is there a ParserBee app in Make?
Not yet. Make's built-in HTTP module calls the ParserBee API directly and gives you every field, so the scenario works the same way an app would.
Does it work with scanned invoices and photos?
Yes. ParserBee does the OCR, so scanned PDFs and phone photos come back with the same fields as digital PDFs.
How do I get one row per invoice line?
Add an Iterator over data.line_items after the HTTP module. Each line becomes its own bundle, and Google Sheets > Add a row runs once per line.
Can Make send the data to Xero or QuickBooks?
What does it cost?
Each extraction uses ParserBee page credits: 1 per page. New accounts get 25 free pages, and paid plans start at $29 per month; see pricing. Make counts its own operations on your Make plan.
