Build Affinda forms with Paperform

Affinda is an AI-powered document parsing platform that extracts structured data from documents including invoices, resumes, receipts, contracts, and custom document types.

Paperform connects to Affinda directly through Stepper workflows.

How Affinda connects to Paperform

Direct methods run inside your Paperform account. Zapier and Make are there too if your team already uses them.

Stepper workflows

Direct

Run a Stepper workflow when someone submits your form: 8 Affinda actions and 2 triggers, included in your Paperform account.

  1. Open Stepper from your Paperform account and create a workflow.
  2. Start it with the Paperform “New Submission” trigger and choose your form.
  3. Add a Affinda step, connect your account and map the submission’s answers to its fields.

What your form sends to Affinda
