Integrate Email by Zapier, inbox parsing, and monitoring tools to capture qualifying purchase requests to evaluate procurement inputs.
Create procurement records from purchase requests in inbox

Create and route procurement intake records when qualifying purchase messages, new supplier submissions, or existing supplier submissions arrive—so you can validate requests, generate the right intake record, and notify procurement without manual data entry.
How this automation creates procurement records fast
When qualifying purchase request emails arrive, delays can stall approvals and increase manual work for finance. This automation filters messages, branches by supplier type, posts intake records, and notifies the procurement channel—so your team can turn inbox requests into structured procurement records.

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 — I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
