New Integration: Document Data Extraction from Infrrd
Overview
We have added a new provider for our Document Data Extraction component, available in Enate Marketplace. You are now able to use Infrrd as your technology provider for this component.
The Document Extraction component automatically extracts the relevant data from files attached to incoming emails so that this data can be used in further processing of the work item, saving your agents time and effort. This also means that documents such as PDFs can be scanned and used both to start Cases in Enate and to form part of the ongoing process's activities.
When a Document Extraction Action runs for a Case, documents attached to the Case can be submitted to your desired technology for scanning and the processed output files will be returned and automatically attached to the Case.
If at any point the technology you're using is not confident enough of the results, based on a confidence threshold that you can set, Enate will instantly transfer the work to an agent in Work Manager to look over and verify, giving you that 'human in the loop' support.
This component can be switched on by your admin in the Marketplace section of Enate Builder. More variations will become available in Marketplace over time.

How it works at runtime
When the Case is run in Work Manager, relevant data from files attached to incoming emails for it will be automatically analyzed and extracted.
If the technology you're using is confident enough about its data extraction results, this Action won't even need to be seen by a human user, it will simply be completed automatically and the Case will move on to the next Action. The completed data extraction Action can still be viewed if you click on it, but it won't need to be handed over to a human user for involvement.
However, if the extraction technology is less confident in its data extraction results, the Action will be handed over to a human user when they next hit 'pull from Queue' in their home page, to pick up and look over. When an agent opens the Action, they'll see that it's been given to them because some further checks are required.
To do this, the agent just needs to click on 'Verify Now' and scroll to the 'validation station' screen in the Action, which shows the scanned document image and the resulting extracted table of data values. This lets the agent see where those lower confidence levels are highlighted, review them and make any necessary corrections manually. This can viewed in-situ, or expanded out to a popup to display full screen.
Every time this is done, the technology will learn and get a little bit better at its data extraction suggestions. If you notice that the technology is regularly getting its suggestions wrong, speak to your admin team about modifying the confidence threshold.
Once the agent is happy that the extracted data is as desired, they can click to mark the Action as completed successfully.
Set Up Using Infrrd
There are a few steps to follow when it comes to switching Document Extraction component on with Infrrd.
1. Marketplace Setup
You'll first need go to the to Marketplace section of Enate Builder and click to activate the Infrrd Document Extraction component.
In the following pop-up, you'll need to add the URL and account ID of your Infrrd platform, as well as the model(s) you want to use.
To add a model, you'll first need to make sure that it is already configured in your Infrrd platform. You'll then need to enter the following information, all of which can be found in your Infrrd platform.
Model ID
Model name
API key
You can add as many models as you like. These models are what determines how documents get classified. For example, you might have configured a model that is trained to only identify invoices, so that would be the model you would want to use for your invoice processes.
Once you have entered all of the above information, you'll need to test the connection.
Once the connection has been tested successfully, click to activate.
2. Case Flow Setup
You'll then need to set up your Case flow to support the Document Extraction component. This involves adding an 'IDP Data Extraction' Action in Enate Builder to use in your desired Case flows.
You can either add an existing one from the Actions list if one has already been created, or you can create a brand new one.
IDP Data Extraction Actions can be created in the same way any other Action is created in Enate: either from the Service Line page, or directly from within your Case flow.
To create an IDP Data Extraction Action from the Service Line page, select to create a new Action under the desired service line, give the action a name and a description and choose approval action from the type drop down. You can also give the Action a global checklist if you wish.
To create an IDP Document Extraction Action directly from the Case flow itself, open a Case flow in edit mode, click on an Action's menu and then instead of clicking to add an existing Action, select to create a new Action by clicking the '+' icon.
Give the Action a name, add a description if you wish and for its type, select 'IDP Data Extraction Action'. When you click 'OK, the Action will be created and added to the Case flow.
Once you have added your approval action to your flow, you will then need to fill out its settings.
On the Action Info tab you will need to set when it's due and set an Allocation rule.
Note that this Allocation should be who the Action should go to to review if the extraction technology is not confident enough in its data extraction results. If the technology you're using is confident enough about its data extraction results, this Action won't even need to be seen by a human user, it will simply be completed automatically and the Case will move on to the next Action.
There's also general settings for the Action too, and ability to set a custom card, again only really for use in the unlikely event that someone needs to intervene and view the action in Work Manager.
Next, go to the IDP Document Extraction tab to define the settings which specifically relate to the approval activities.
You'll need to fill in the Extraction Model - this is the ID of the model you want to use for that process.
You'll also need to fill in the input and output tags. The input tag is the tag that the file/document must be tagged with in Work Manager in order to be eligible for document extraction processing. The output tag is the tag that will be assigned to the file/document in Work Manager once the document extraction process has completed.
Once you have filled in the above settings details, set the Case live.
