Create a key
In PaperOffice AI, open Account → API and create a secret key (po_sk_), a user token (po_ut_) or a group token (po_gt_). A group token limits Make to the workspaces of its group.
Make · Official app
The Document Operations Platform in Make: upload, search, read, extract and redact documents, no HTTP setup.
Invoice data as fields, duplicate check, GDPR redaction and passage search, each as its own module.
Trusted by leading companies worldwide
How it works
The PaperOffice AI app brings its own modules to Make. You map fields between modules instead of building HTTP requests, and long jobs are polled for you.
In PaperOffice AI, open Account → API and create a secret key (po_sk_), a user token (po_ut_) or a group token (po_gt_). A group token limits Make to the workspaces of its group.
In Make, add a PaperOffice AI module and create a connection with the key. Make checks the key right away and masks it in every log. Publishable keys (po_pk_) are rejected.
Map fields between modules, for example the POFID from Watch new documents into Extract invoice data, and pass the invoice fields on to your accounting or a spreadsheet.
Capabilities
Fifteen modules for the full document lifecycle, from upload to redacted PDF.
Upload a document takes a file from any module, Upload a document from a URL fetches it from a link. PaperOffice AI then analyzes it with OCR and AI-DMS.
Watch new documents starts the scenario when a document arrives in a workspace and passes name, type, status and dates to the next module.
Search documents finds files by full text, meaning or both. Search document passages returns the passages that answer a question, with document and page number.
Get document text returns the OCR text page by page, Download a document the original file, Get a document the details and the processing status.
Extract invoice data returns supplier, invoice number, dates, net, VAT and total amounts, IBAN and line items as separate fields for the next module.
Check a document for duplicates finds identical content or the same number from the same issuer, even with a different amount, across the workspaces the key can access.
Redact a document returns a redacted PDF with black boxes, or with consistent pseudonyms on the Ultra model. A profile such as GDPR request decides what stays visible.
Make an API call reaches every documented endpoint with the key from your connection, for example translation, PDF tools or e-signatures.
curl -X POST \ "https://api.paperoffice.ai/latest/job/add/workflow" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer po_ut_YOUR_API_KEY" \ -d "pofid=YOUR_POFID" \ -d "model=premium" \ -d "idp_collection=invoice" \ -d "client_wait=false" curl -X POST \ "https://api.paperoffice.ai/latest/job/add/workflow" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer po_ut_YOUR_API_KEY" \ -d "template=document_anonymize" \ -d "pofid=YOUR_POFID" \ -d "scenario=gdpr_disclosure" \ -d "redact_mode=blackout" \ -d "client_wait=false" curl -X GET \ "https://api.paperoffice.ai/latest/job/get/YOUR_JOB_ID" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer po_ut_YOUR_API_KEY" curl -X POST \ "https://api.paperoffice.ai/latest/documents/duplicate-check" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer po_ut_YOUR_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"pofid":"YOUR_POFID"}' curl -X POST \ "https://api.paperoffice.ai/latest/document_intelligence/embeddings/search" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer po_ut_YOUR_API_KEY" \ -d "query=termination period" \ -d "embedding_type=page" \ -d "min_score=0.3" \ -d "limit=10" For developers
The modules use the documented REST API. You can send the same calls with Make an API call or from your own code.
OpenAPI, a Postman collection, llms.txt and skill.md describe every endpoint the modules use, for AI-assisted editors too.
Every error carries a stable code such as DOCUMENT_NOT_FOUND or REDACT_MODE_REQUIRES_ULTRA next to the message, so an error handler in Make can react precisely.
AI agents reach the same functions through the MCP server https://mcp.paperoffice.ai/dms. Which tools are available depends on your plan.
Security and compliance
The key lives in the Make connection, not in the scenario, and is masked in every log. Documents are processed in our own EU data center.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. The PaperOffice AI app adds its own modules to Make: a trigger for new documents, actions for upload, text, invoice data, duplicate check, redaction and tags, searches for documents, passages and workspaces, and Make an API call for every other endpoint.
A secret key (po_sk_), a user token (po_ut_) or a group token (po_gt_), created in the app under Account → API. Publishable keys (po_pk_) only work in the browser and are rejected. The API is available on every plan, including Free.
Calls are billed in PaperOffice AI credits, at least 5 credits per billable call. Invoice extraction and redaction are billed per page according to the model. Job status checks and the connection check are free. Make counts its own operations separately.
Extract invoice data and Redact a document wait up to about four minutes. If a job takes longer, the module returns the job ID and the current status. Get a job reads the result later, for a redaction including the link to the redacted PDF.
You choose a profile such as GDPR subject access request, external sharing or court proceedings, plus terms that must stay visible or must always be redacted. Pseudonyms instead of black boxes require the Ultra model and are not available for profiles such as whistleblower reports or court proceedings.
It compares the content as well as the document number and issuer, so a resent invoice with a different amount is also flagged. It returns up to five candidates, earliest first, and only from workspaces the key can access. Right after an upload, the status stays pending_analysis until the analysis is finished.
No. A group token only sees the workspaces of its group, in every module: workspace selection, search, passages, duplicate check and the trigger for new documents.
Yes. Watch new documents checks a workspace for new documents on the schedule of your scenario and passes each document to the next module. From Professional, a webhook subscription can also report document.processed to a Make custom webhook.
Yes, through an MCP client in Make with the server URL https://mcp.paperoffice.ai/dms. Sign-in runs via OAuth 2.1 or a po_ut_ or po_gt_ token. Which tools are available depends on your plan.
Yes. n8n works with its standard HTTP Request, Webhook and MCP Client nodes against the same REST API and the same MCP server. There is no dedicated n8n node.
Documents that Make sends to PaperOffice AI are processed in our own EU data center. Module outputs that Make keeps in scenario history or data stores follow the settings of your Make account.
