How does Basin work for Data Entry automation?
Basin works for Data Entry automation by powering a DeskFerry agent that runs the workflow end-to-end inside your existing tools — no code, no custom build.
- 01
Trigger fires
The agent connects to Basin alongside the other apps your team already uses, watches for the triggers that matter for Data Entry, and takes the next step on its own while keeping a complete audit trail for review.
- 02
Read every PDF that lands in our AP @Drive folder
AI extracts, validates, and enters data from documents, emails, and forms automatically.
- 03
Extract the structured fields
Teams typically see high across mixed document formats once the agent is in production.
- 04
Append a row to @Sheets
You stay in control: every action is logged, confidence thresholds are configurable, and anything ambiguous is queued for a human instead of being silently auto-completed.
- 05
You approve
Anything under your confidence bar waits for a human.
How you tell it what to do
Built in plain English.
You write the rule the way you'd describe it to a teammate. The agent reads the rule, breaks it into the actions it'll take, and confirms the apps it'll touch — before it does anything.
