Email Attachments Reader extracts text and data from files attached to emails, turning static attachments into information your agents can read and act on. It works alongside Gmail or Outlook to process Excel spreadsheets, PDFs, and images directly from your inbox.

Setup

No setup required. Email Attachments Reader is automatically available to every agent.

Capabilities

  • Excel file extraction — Read and interpret data from .xlsx and .xls spreadsheets attached to emails.
  • PDF processing — Extract text and structured content from PDF attachments such as invoices, contracts, and reports.
  • Image reading — Use AI to read text and understand content in .jpg, .jpeg, and .png image attachments.
  • Structured data extraction — Go beyond raw text to understand document layout, tables, and context within attachments.

Key Benefits

  • Hands-free document processing — Agents read attachment contents automatically without human intervention.
  • Intelligent understanding — AI interprets document structure and context, not just raw text, so agents can extract meaningful data from complex files.
  • Multi-format support — Handles the most common business file types (spreadsheets, PDFs, and images) in a single connection.
  • End-to-end email automation — Pairs naturally with email connections to process entire inbox workflows from message to attachment to action.
