Frequently asked questions
Does Affinda integrate with Amazon S3?
Yes. Affinda's integration with Amazon S3 connects your document processing directly to your cloud storage infrastructure. It automatically extracts, structures and exports data from invoices, contracts, receipts and compliance documents into S3 as CSV or JSON files. With Affinda, you can build scalable document archives, power analytics pipelines and maintain audit-ready storage - all while eliminating manual data entry and keeping your data organized and searchable.
How does the Affinda-Amazon S3 integration work?
Affinda processes documents from any source (email, upload or API) and automatically extracts structured data such as file metadata, document type, dates, amounts and line items.
Once extracted, Affinda exports both the structured data (as CSV or JSON) and the original files directly into your designated S3 buckets - whether that's invoices, contracts, receipts or compliance documents.
You can configure validation rules, classification tags and folder structures to match your business logic - ensuring every file lands exactly where it needs to be.
What types of documents can Affinda process and send to my Amazon S3 enviroments?
Affinda processes any business document and sends it to Amazon S3, including:
- Invoices, purchase orders and financial statements
- Receipts and expense claims
- Contracts and supplier agreements
- Compliance forms and audit reports
- HR documents and employee records
Whether your documents are digital PDFs or scanned images, Affinda handles them all - using advanced OCR and AI to extract structured data with over 99% accuracy before exporting to S3.
Do I need to manually upload files to Amazon S3?
No. Affinda can fully automate the entire workflow - from document ingestion to Amazon S3 export. You have three options for getting documents to Affinda:

Once your documents reach Affinda, everything else happens automatically - data extraction, validation and export straight to your S3 buckets, ready for storage, analytics or compliance workflows.
Can I define my own validation and business rules?
Yes. Affinda lets you define custom validation rules in plain language before any data is exported to Amazon S3.
For example, you can configure rules to:
- Verify file metadata is complete before storage
- Flag documents missing required fields or dates
- Check for duplicate files to prevent redundant storage
- Validate document classification tags match your S3 folder structure
These checks ensure your S3 buckets stay organized, compliant and ready for analytics or audit.
