Application Integration with GCP services

[deepgoel]

Recently, we added several GCP services to the Application Integration portfolio. These tasks will enable users to integrate with multiple GCP services from Application Integration. Here we will discuss one such GCP service, Document AI. The Document AI with Application Integration opens up a number of opportunities for our customers, such as:

• Digitizing different types of documents, such as invoices, receipts, and contracts.
• Processing these documents in Application Integration, such as extracting data from them or routing them to the appropriate department.
• Automating tasks that are currently done manually, like data entry and document processing.
• Improve business process accuracy and efficiency by automating repetitive tasks.
• Reducing costs associated with document management and processing.

We will now quickly walkthrough a use case of using Document AI with Application Integration for Medical insurance claim process automation.

Solution: Customers upload their medical claim forms using their portal by attaching their  invoices which gets uploaded to the GCS bucket which in turn notifies the Pub/Sub topic. We have a pre-built integration that subscribes to the given Pub/Sub topic. The integration fetches the file from the GCS bucket using the available GCS connector task

Before invoking the Document AI task, we use the Data Mapper task to create the request payload. The Document AI task is then used to digitize the content of the file. Below is a snapshot of the same, where we have provided the required params. 

The file data can then be accessed using the Data Mapping task. If the Document AI classifies the document as a “claim”, then the integration can push that data to other systems like BigQuery and Salesforce. The below image shows the same.
