1.Monitors new delivery receipt emails
Integrate Microsoft Outlook and email handling tools to detect new delivery receipt messages and start the receipt workflow.
Create POS sale from delivery receipts and update table
Automatically monitor new delivery receipt emails in Microsoft Outlook and parse receipt details across CloudConvert, Webhooks by Zapier, AI by Zapier, and Zapier Tables. Create POS sales and update your orders table with matched inventory from Lightspeed Retail POS (X-Series) without manual reconciliation, transcription, or data entry.
How this automation creates POS sale records
When delivery receipts arrive in email and require retyping for POS sale entry, reconciliation slows and errors slip in. This automation converts the attachment to text, parses receipt line items, creates an orders table record, builds the sale in Lightspeed Retail POS (X-Series), and updates the record automaticallyβso your team can post receipts quickly and accurately.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism β I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
