Email→ERP Automation

Email → ERP Intake Automation, with AI Where It Helps

Convert inbound emails and attachments directly into ERP records. Integratie builds custom automations, with AI where it helps, and the workflows run on Canadian-owned servers.

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, or your custom ERP. Real-time notifications sent to stakeholders via Slack, Teams, or email.

Designed around Canadian privacy law

Where your data lives
Workflows run on self-hosted servers in Canadian-owned data centres, and we can design automations to keep sensitive business data in Canada when required. Designed around PIPEDA and BC's PIPA. Complete audit trail for compliance.

Benefits

Much less manual entry

Cut out most of the copy-paste work. AI extracts and formats data automatically.

Faster Processing

Orders and invoices enter your ERP the same day, without re-typing.

Audit-Ready Recordkeeping

Every email, extraction, and ERP entry logged with timestamps. Useful when auditors ask for records.

Quick Rollback

If something goes wrong, rollback takes under 5 minutes. If something fails, we're alerted and fix it.
