WOOD DALE, IL – AMBIR, a leading provider of document scanning solutions, today announced the launch of Zapier integration for its AmbirScan software platform. This powerful new integration transforms traditional paper-based scanning from an isolated task into an automation trigger, enabling users to initiate workflows across thousands of popular business applications.
With AmbirScan every document, business card, or ID card scanned can now instantly trigger the next steps in a business process, eliminating manual data entry and streamlining operations. The AmbirScan Zapier integration supports three distinct scanning capabilities, each serving as a powerful workflow trigger:
Document Scanning as Workflow Trigger: Every document scan automatically sends key information—filename, storage location, page count, and timestamp—to connected applications. This enables automatic notifications, approval workflows, and document tracking. When a contract is scanned to Google Drive, the legal team receives an instant Slack notification. When an invoice is scanned to Dropbox, the accounting team is automatically emailed with the document location. Each scan becomes a trigger point for the next step in the business process, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
Business Card Scanning for Instant Data Capture: Scan a business card and watch structured contact information—name, title, company, email, phone numbers, address, and website—flow directly into your CRM, contact manager, or spreadsheet. No typing required. At networking events, scanned cards instantly populate Salesforce with new leads and schedule follow-up reminders. After client meetings, contacts are added to Google Contacts with automatic calendar notifications created. Trade show connections become actionable leads in HubSpot, triggering automated email sequences. Business Card scanning functionality is available with AmbirScan Business Card License, included with select scanner bundles or available as an add-on license.
ID Scanning for Streamlined Verification and Onboarding: Scan driver’s licenses and state ID’s and automatically extract structured data—name, date of birth, address, license number, and expiration dates—to connected systems. Perfect for new employee onboarding where a single ID scan populates HR systems, creates welcome tasks, and initiates background checks. Client intake processes become seamless as ID scans verify identity, update customer records, and notify relevant team members. Any workflow requiring identity verification can now start with a simple scan. ID scanning capability is available with AmbirScan ID Scanning License, included with select scanner bundles or available as an add-on license.
Real-World Workflow Automation Across Industries
The Zapier integration enables workflow automation for every business function:
- Sales teams scan business cards at conferences and instantly populate their CRM with new leads, automatically scheduling follow-up calls and triggering welcome email sequences
- Accounting firms scan client documents to cloud storage and automatically notify team members via Slack, create approval tasks in Asana, and log the activity in their project management system
- Small businesses scan invoices and automatically email notifications to their accountant while creating approval workflows in their document management system
