How to setup your Workflow?

Import

Configuring Import Block

Access Workflow: Start by navigating to the 'Workflow' section in the left panel of your Nanonets Extract Data page.
Browse Import Options: Click on the “Browse import options” to view all supported import sources.

Select Import Source:
- A list of available import options will be displayed.
- Choose the import source that best fits your needs (e.g., Email, Dropbox, Amazon S3, API integration).

Authenticate and Configure:
- Depending on the chosen source, you may need to authenticate access. For example, to use Dropbox:
  - Click on the Dropbox icon.
  - Sign in to your Dropbox account and authorize Nanonets to access your files.
- Configure any necessary settings specific to the import source.
Complete Setup:
- After authentication and configuration, click on “Finish Setup” to save your settings.
Verify and Test:
- Ensure that the import block is correctly set up by importing a test file.
- Verify that the file appears in extract data section.

Note: Not all import sources may not require authentication. Some sources might simply need you to setup the import block by choosing the block.

Data Actions

Configuring Data Actions

Access Workflow: Start by navigating to the 'Workflow' section in the left panel of your Nanonets Extract Data page.
Access Data Actions: Click on “Add a new step” to initiate the addition of a new data action block.

Browse Data Action Blocks:
- A list of all available data action blocks will be displayed.
- These blocks represent different operations you can perform on your data, such as formatting, look-up, or applying conditions and actions.

Select a Data Action Block:
- Choose a block that fits your specific need. For example, if you need to perform an operation based on a condition, you might select a "Conditional Block."
Configure the Data Action Block:
- Once the block is added to your workflow, configure it according to your needs.
- For a Conditional Block, specify the condition. For instance, set ‘field1 is NOT EMPTY’ to ensure the action only runs when ‘field1’ contains data.
Define the Action:
- Determine what action should be taken when the condition is met. For example, if you want to format a date, set the action to convert the date to the format 'YYYY-MM-DD'.
- You can choose to overwrite the original field with the results of the data action or create a new field to store the modified data.
Test the Data Action:
- Before finalizing, test the data action block.
- Use the “test this action” feature by selecting a sample file to see how the block processes the data in real-time.
Save the Configuration:
- Once you are satisfied with the setup and testing, click on “Finish setup to save.”
- This saves the configured data action block to your workflow.

Final Results

Configuring Final Outputs

Access the Final Results Section: Within your workflow page, locate and click on the "Final Results" tab. This section is dedicated to finalizing the output of your workflow.
Select Fields:
- You will see a list of all fields processed in previous steps of the workflow.
- Toggle the fields you want to include in the final results. For example, fields like invoice_date, Invoice_number, line_items, phone_number, and total_amount can be selected based on your requirements.

Approvals

Configuring Approval Stages

Access Workflow: Start by navigating to the 'Workflow' section in the left panel of your Nanonets Extract Data page.
Add a Review Stage:
- Click on the "Add a review stage" button to begin setting up a new approval rule within your workflow.

Choose Review Type:
- Select from two types of review settings:
  - Assign reviewer only if file is flagged: This option assigns a reviewer only to files that meet specific flagged conditions.
  - Mandatory review (even if not flagged): This option requires a review for every file, regardless of whether it is flagged.

Select Reviewers:
- Choose the team members who will be responsible for reviewing the files.
- You can add multiple reviewers to the pool; a flagged file will be assigned to one of the reviewers.
Configure Flagging Rules: Click on the “Add another rule”
- Set up criteria that determine when a file should be flagged for review.
- Select the field you want to apply rules to, then choose from pre-defined rules or create a custom rule using a Python block for more complex conditions.
- Once you have selected the field and condition click on the “Done” button.

Define Rule Logic:
- If you have multiple rules, decide how these should be applied:
  - AND Condition: All conditions must be met for the file to be flagged.
  - OR Condition: Any of the conditions can trigger flagging.
Save the Approval Stage:
- After setting the review type, selecting reviewers, and configuring rules, click on the "save stage" button to finalize the approval stage.

Exports

Configuring Export Block

  - Click on the Google Drive icon.
  - Sign in to your Google Drive account and authorize Nanonets to access your files.
- Configure any necessary settings specific to the export destination.
Complete Setup:
- After authentication and configuration, click on “Add Integration” to save your settings.
Verify and Test:
- Ensure that the export block is correctly set up by exporting a test file.
- Verify that the file or the extracted data appears in selected destination.

Note: Not all export blocks may not require authentication. Some export destinations might simply need you to setup the export block by choosing the block.
