Standardize file formats automatically with Api2Convert

Swiftask integrates Api2Convert to normalize your incoming documents. Files are automatically converted into the format required by your business tools.

Result:

Eliminate processing errors caused by heterogeneous formats and accelerate your document workflows.

File format diversity slows down your operations

Receiving files in varied formats (PDF, images, proprietary formats) imposes a significant manual workload to normalize them before they can be integrated into your systems.

Main negative impacts:

  • Manual processing errors: Manual conversion is prone to human error, compromising the quality of integrated data.
  • Operational time loss: Your teams spend hours every week transforming files instead of focusing on analysis.
  • System incompatibility: Some business tools require strict formats, blocking workflows when non-compliant files are received.

Swiftask connects Api2Convert to automatically standardize every file received. Define your conversion rules, and the AI processes documents as soon as they arrive.

BEFORE / AFTER

What changes with Swiftask

Without automation

A team member receives a document. They must open it, verify the format, use an external tool to convert it, then download and manually import it into the target system.

With Swiftask + Api2Convert

As soon as a file is detected, Swiftask triggers Api2Convert. The file is instantly converted to the required standard format and automatically stored or sent to your business tool.

File normalization: 4 key steps

STEP 1 : Configure your Swiftask agent

Create an agent in Swiftask dedicated to document management. Define rules for detecting incoming files.

STEP 2 : Integrate Api2Convert

Add the Api2Convert connector to your agent to access powerful file conversion capabilities.

STEP 3 : Set the target format

Specify the desired output format (e.g., PDF/A, CSV, JSON) to ensure compliance with your internal systems.

STEP 4 : Automate the workflow

Validate the workflow. The agent now processes every incoming document in real time, with no human action required.

Document processing capabilities

The agent analyzes the incoming file type, extension, and structure to determine the optimal conversion method via Api2Convert.

  • Target connector: The agent performs the right actions in api2convert based on event context.
  • Automated actions: Automatic conversion to standard formats. Metadata cleaning. Resizing or compression. Text content extraction. Intelligent routing after conversion.
  • Native governance: Every conversion operation is logged, ensuring full transparency over your document lifecycle.

Each action is contextualized and executed automatically at the right time.

Each Swiftask agent uses a dedicated identity (e.g. agent-api2convert@swiftask.ai ). You keep full visibility on every action and every sent message.

Key takeaway: The agent automates repetitive decisions and leaves high-value actions to your teams.

Benefits of automated normalization

1. Increased data reliability

Automatic standardization ensures your systems always receive data in the expected format.

2. Massive productivity gain

Permanently eliminate repetitive manual file conversion tasks.

3. Total interoperability

Easily connect disparate tools using normalized and consistent file formats.

4. Scalable processing

Process hundreds or thousands of documents without increasing your team's workload.

5. Simplified compliance

Automatically standardize your document archives to meet regulatory requirements.

Data security and compliance

Swiftask applies enterprise-grade security standards for your api2convert automations.

  • Secure processing: Files transit via encrypted connections between Swiftask and Api2Convert.
  • Access management: Precisely control who can configure conversion rules within your organization.
  • Audit trail: Keep a record of every converted file, its origin, and its final destination.
  • Data respect: Files are not kept unnecessarily after processing, respecting your retention policies.
