1.Captures new supplier PO email
Integrate Email Parser by Zapier and email parsing tools to watch your parser mailbox for new supplier PO emails and capture body and attachments to prepare parsed data.
Create parsed purchase orders and notify fulfillment team
Automatically parse supplier purchase order emails across Email Parser by Zapier, Formatter by Zapier, and Gmail. Create and forward parsed file references when supplier PO emails arrive, PO attachments are detected, or parser mailbox receives a new messageβso you can submit intake, notify fulfillment, and preserve message IDs without manual intake.
How this automation accelerates purchase order processing
When supplier PO emails arrive without structured forwarding, intake gets delayed and fulfillment waits longer. This automation parses PO messages and extracts file references and then sends intake submissions and fulfillment notificationsβso your team can review orders faster.

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.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
