You get a mix of PDFs—invoices, contracts, receipts—and you need them sorted by type so the right workflow handles each one. Doing that by hand doesn't scale.

The fix: Define your classification rules on dev.pdf4me.com (using regex or JavaScript expressions), then run the same classification inside Zapier: when a new PDF lands in a folder → PDF4me Classify Document → use the returned Class Name to route or organize.
