Email Attachments Reader

What is the Email Attachments Reader?

The Email Attachments Reader is a system-managed tool that's automatically available for all your Duvo assignments. You don't need to connect or configure it—it's ready to use out of the box.

What Can It Do?

Email Attachments Reader processes email attachments and extracts text and data from various file types using AI, including:

• Excel files (.xlsx, .xls)

• Images (.jpg, .jpeg, .png, .webp, .gif)

• PDF files

This enables your assignments to read and understand the content inside attachments, not just download them.

Why This Matters

Many critical business workflows involve information sent as email attachments—purchase orders in PDFs, invoices in Excel, signed contracts as images, or data sheets in spreadsheets. Without the ability to read these attachments, your assignments would be limited to forwarding files or storing them without understanding their contents. Email Attachments Reader unlocks the data inside these files, allowing your assignments to extract information, make decisions, and take actions based on attachment content.

When to Use It

Use Email Attachments Reader in combination with Gmail or Outlook connections when your assignment needs to:

• Process invoices or purchase orders sent as PDF attachments

• Extract data from spreadsheets shared via email

• Read information from scanned documents or images

• Handle contracts or forms sent as attachments

• Parse receipts, reports, or statements in various file formats

How It Works

When your assignment retrieves an email using the Gmail or Outlook connection, it can use Email Attachments Reader to open and analyze any attachments. The connection uses AI to extract text, understand structure, and pull out relevant information from the file—turning unstructured attachment data into actionable information your assignment can use.

Key Benefits

Eliminate manual file opening: Your assignment reads attachment contents automatically without human intervention

Intelligent extraction: AI understands document structure and context, not just raw text

Multi-format support: Works with the most common business file types—spreadsheets, PDFs, and images

Seamless workflow: Integrates naturally with email processing, allowing end-to-end automation of attachment-based workflows

Email Attachments Reader is essential for any workflow involving email-based document processing, transforming attachments from static files into readable, actionable data for your assignments.
