Prerequisites
- A DocPipe account (sign up at docpipe.ai)
Sign up and log in
Go to docpipe.ai and create your account. After signing in, you land on the Pipes page.

Create your first pipe
Click New pipe and enter a name (for example, “Invoice Extraction”). A pipe is a container that holds your pipeline configuration, uploaded files, and processing runs.

Build a pipeline
Navigate to the Pipeline tab inside your new pipe. The visual editor opens with an empty canvas.Add these three nodes to create a basic extraction pipeline:
- Upload trigger: accepts document uploads
- Extract action: uses AI to extract structured data from the document. Configure a schema with the fields you want to extract (for example:
vendor_name,invoice_number,total_amount). - Email output: sends the extracted data to an email address when processing completes

Upload a document
Inside your pipe, click Upload. In the upload dialog, drag and drop a document or click to browse. DocPipe supports PDF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and HEIC files.Once uploaded, a run starts automatically. You can watch the progress in real time.
