Document understanding but for a web page?

Hello
I am new to UiPath so sorry if my question is silly …

In short my question is there a feature in UiPath to “understand” a web page.

I have a web application that is an accounting platform. Users can send their invoices to this accounting platform and would need to manually enter the invoice number when creating an expense entry based on the invoice.

I would like to automate the process.

Invoices can have any form, so I would like that UiPath to read the web page that contain the invoice and find the invoice number by “understanding” the content of the web page.

I saw there is a feature called “Document understanding” but I believe this is only for documents…

Any idea?

Thank you

@Foued_Ali,

Document Understanding is for retrieving data from a document. For extracting data from web application, you can use semantic activity Activities - Extract Form Data if the invoice going to be a kind of form.

Thanks Ashok but The invoice can be of any form, below an example on how an invoice would be displayed:


The invoice can be from a bank, a restaurant, anything.
In this example, the invoice shows “invoice number” but other invoices might refer to “Bill Number” or “Bill No” etc.

Is there anyway to capture the invoice number based on this?

Thank you

@Foued_Ali You can download the invoice as PDF and use document understanding to extract data from invoice.

That’s a PDF not a web page. Download the PDF and use Document Understanding to process it.

@Foued_Ali,

It’s still a pdf document. Just download it and continue further of the Document Understanding

Bear in mind, Document Understanding consumes AI units, which you’ll need to purchase, so you need to figure out how many you need and what they cost etc to make sure the business case makes sense.

It should be 1 AI unit per page, which should work out to be about 20 cents for page.
