Intakes provide automated document ingestion endpoints. Each intake defines a way for external systems to submit documents into a specific document store within a project, triggering processing pipelines automatically.

How Intakes Work

An intake creates an endpoint that external systems can send documents to. When a document arrives at an intake endpoint:
  1. The document is uploaded to the configured document store
  2. A document family is created for tracking
  3. Any configured processing pipelines are triggered automatically
