MailParser Integration with Zoho CRM

Zoho CRM Email Parser (Native) vs. MailParser: Which One is best?

Integrating Zoho CRM with a MailParser service can offer several benefits, even though Zoho CRM has a built-in email parser. A wide range of extraction rules available in MailParser can cope with even the most complicated PDF formats that the native Zoho CRM Email Parser may not support. MailParser can handle PDF files with complex formatting, such as multiple columns, tables, and unstructured data.

For example, a PDF file generated from an Excel spreadsheet with structured data and formatting can be accurately extracted and imported into Zoho CRM using MailParser.

In short, Zoho CRM's built-in Email Parser might suffice if your email parsing needs are straightforward, and you don't need extensive data extraction from PDFs or integration with other platforms.

However, if you deal with complex PDF files, and unstructured data, or require advanced data parsing rules, and send the parsed data to third-party applications like e-commerce platforms seamlessly, MailParser is your best bet.

How can integrating MailParser with Zoho CRM benefit my business?

Imagine you're a seller on platforms like Amazon or BigCommerce, but you rely on various vendors to manufacture your products. When a customer orders something, the details need to be relayed to the specific vendor who makes that item. This creates a complex situation where you receive order information from multiple vendors, often in long and intricate PDF formats.

Here's where the traditional approach gets messy: manually entering all this data from PDFs into your Zoho CRM system.It's time-consuming, prone to errors, and slows down the entire order fulfillment process.

With MailParser integrated with Zoho CRM, you can automate the process of extracting and processing information from email attachments, saving you time. By automatically extracting and processing information from email attachments, employees can focus on more strategic tasks, leading to increased productivity and efficiency. Additionally, automated data entry eliminates errors that can arise from manual entry, ensuring more accurate and reliable information in Zoho CRM.

The Challenge:

• Customers order products from the seller on platforms like Amazon or BigCommerce.

• These orders trigger requests for product details to be sent to the specific vendors who manufacture them.

• Vendors receive these requests and prepare the orders.

• Once ready, vendors send shipment and payment details back to the seller, often in email attachments containing PDFs.

• The problem? These PDFs can be lengthy, have complex formatting with tables and columns, or unstructured data.

• To manage this, sellers would manually re-enter all this information from each PDF into their Zoho CRM system, a time-consuming and error-prone process.

The Solution: Automating Data Extraction with MailParser

Here's where MailParser comes to the rescue:

• Effortless Parsing: When a vendor email with a PDF attachment arrives in your inbox, MailParser swings into action.

• Integration with e-commerce platform: Simultaneously, MailParser can also send the extracted data to your e-commerce platforms like Amazon/BigCommerce. This can help you save time as you don't need to enter data into your e -commerce platforms manually. Additionally, it can help automate your data entry process and increase the accuracy of your data.
