Email→ERP Automation

Email → ERP Intake Automation with n8n & AI

Convert inbound emails and attachments directly into ERP records. Integratie builds custom pipelines using n8n + AI — fully hosted in Canada.

The Manual Process

Email Overload
Orders, invoices, and requests arrive via email. Someone has to manually copy data into your ERP.
Data Entry Errors
Typos, missed fields, or incorrect formatting cause delays and require corrections.
Slow Response Times
Manual processing creates bottlenecks. Customers wait hours or days for confirmation.

How It Works

1. Webhook Captures Email

Inbound emails trigger an n8n webhook. Attachments (PDFs, CSVs, images) are automatically extracted and processed.

2. AI Classifies & Extracts

AI identifies the email type (order, invoice, quote request) and extracts structured data: customer info, line items, quantities, dates.

3. Validation & Mapping

Data validation ensures required fields are present. Mapping rules translate email data to ERP fields (customer codes, GL accounts, etc.).

4. Auto-Create ERP Records

Records are created in Extensiv, Odoo, SAP, or your custom ERP. Real-time notifications sent to stakeholders via Slack, Teams, or email.

Canadian Compliance Built-In

Every Component Runs on Canadian Infrastructure
Fully PIPEDA/FIPPA aligned. Email data, attachments, and ERP records never leave Canadian servers. Complete audit trail for compliance.

Benefits

Zero Manual Entry

Eliminate hours of copy-paste work. AI extracts and formats data automatically.

Faster Processing

Orders and invoices enter your ERP within minutes instead of hours or days.

Audit-Ready Recordkeeping

Every email, extraction, and ERP entry logged with timestamps. Perfect for compliance audits.

Quick Rollback

If something goes wrong, rollback takes under 5 minutes. Error handling includes retries and alerts.
