■ Overview
Are you manually entering file details—like invoices and contracts saved in Dropbox—into Superhuman Docs tables every time? This repetitive work is time-consuming and prone to copy-and-paste mistakes or missing entries. This workflow connects Superhuman Docs with Dropbox so that when a file is placed in a specified folder, AI OCR reads the text in the file and automatically adds a row to a Superhuman Docs table. Automate routine tasks around file management to achieve more accurate and efficient information management.
■ Who this template is for
- People who manage file information stored in Dropbox in Superhuman Docs and want to eliminate manual data entry
- Teams that want to centralize files and related information via the Superhuman Docs–Dropbox integration to streamline operations
- Back-office staff who receive invoices in Dropbox and want to automatically transfer their contents to Superhuman Docs
■ Benefits of this template
- Simply add a file to Dropbox and a row is automatically added to Superhuman Docs, reducing the time previously spent on manual data entry
- Prevent human errors such as input mistakes or omissions and help maintain data accuracy
■ Workflow steps
- First, connect Dropbox and Superhuman Docs to Yoom
- Next, in the trigger, select Dropbox and set the action 「When a file is created or updated in a specific folder」
- Next, in an operation, set Dropbox’s 「Download file」 action and download the file detected by the trigger
- Next, in an operation, set the AI feature’s 「Extract text with OCR」 action and read the required text data from the downloaded file
- Finally, in an operation, set Superhuman Docs’ 「Add row to table」 action and add the extracted information and file name to a chosen table
※「trigger」:The action that initiates the flow. 「operation」:The action that runs within the flow after the trigger fires.
■ What you can customize in this workflow
- When extracting text with OCR using the AI features, configure which information in the file to read
- When adding a row to Superhuman Docs, configure which columns in which table the OCR-extracted information and file name should map to
■ Notes
- Connect Yoom with both Dropbox and Superhuman Docs.
- The trigger can run at intervals of 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes.
- The minimum polling interval varies by plan.
- OCR may fail to read data if it exceeds 6,500 characters or if the text is small.
- The maximum downloadable file size varies by the operation and app specifications.
- For details on allowable file sizes for the trigger and each operation, see 「About file size limits」.
