What you can automate

What does the Koncile OCR Make integration do?

The Koncile OCR Make integration lets a Make scenario, the automation you build as a chain of modules, send documents to your Koncile OCR account and read what comes back. Each module is one brick of that chain. Koncile OCR has no trigger in Make, so another app or a schedule starts the scenario.

Documents sent on without anyone forwarding them. An accounts payable clerk can let a file dropped in a shared tool start the scenario, then pass it to Parse Documents. Your team stops opening each file by hand just to send it along.

Results picked up where they are needed. Once documents have gone through Koncile OCR, Search Results looks up what is there. A search can return zero, one or several bundles, the items that flow from one module to the next, so plan the step that follows for each case.

The right folder and template, found once. Fetch all folders and templates lists how your Koncile OCR account is organized, which helps an operations lead check the setup before wiring the rest.

What the integration does not do: it cannot start a scenario by itself, since there is no trigger module. When the listed modules fall short, Make an API Call reaches any endpoint of the Koncile OCR API with the same connection. Make itself flags this app's documentation as AI-generated, so check important details with Koncile OCR.

Connect

How do you connect Koncile OCR to Make?

  1. 01

    Generate your API key in Koncile OCR

    Sign in to your Koncile OCR account, which must be active, and open Settings > API. Click Generate API Key, then copy the key shown on screen. Keep it at hand for the next step.

  2. 02

    Add a Koncile OCR module in Make

    In your scenario, add any Koncile OCR module and click Create a connection. A connection is your Koncile OCR account linked to Make once, then reused by every Koncile OCR module. The Connection name field is optional.

  3. 03

    Paste the key and save

    Enter the API key you copied from Koncile OCR, or follow the instructions Make shows on screen, then save. From now on, the module can list what your account contains and you can fill in its fields.

First scenario

Build your first Koncile OCR scenario

GoalWhen a new document shows up in another app, Make sends it to Koncile OCR and then looks up the results.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. Pick the app where your documents land first: its module starts the flow, since Koncile OCR has no trigger.

  2. 02

    Add Parse Documents

    Click the + on the right of that first module, search for Koncile OCR and pick Parse Documents. Click Create a connection if you have not linked your account yet.

  3. 03

    Map the document

    Fill the fields of Parse Documents and map the data coming from the first module. Once the connection exists, Make lists what it can read from your account, so you pick instead of typing.

  4. 04

    Look up the results

    Add Search Results after Parse Documents with another +. It can return zero, one or several bundles, so check what each one holds before you add anything else.

  5. 05

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once to execute the scenario a single time. Open the bubble above each module to read the bundles it received and confirm the document went through.

  6. 06

    Schedule and switch it on

    Set the schedule on the first module (every 15 minutes by default, 15 minutes at least on the Free plan), then switch the scenario on so it runs without you.

Modules

What can Koncile OCR do in Make?

Koncile OCR gives you 4 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Koncile OCR1

Fetch all folders and templates

ActionIn the docs only

You get a view of how your Koncile OCR account is organized: going by its name, this action retrieves your folders and templates in one pass, and Make publishes no description beyond that name.

When to use it
before you build the rest of a scenario, to check which folder or template the next module should point to.
Watch out
run it once and read the bundles, since the fields it returns are not documented.
Koncile OCR2

Make an API Call

ActionIn the docs only

This module gives you access to any endpoint of the Koncile OCR API from your scenario, reusing the connection you already created, so nothing needs a second login.

When to use it
the three other modules do not cover a request you need, and the Koncile OCR API does.
Watch out
you write the request yourself, so check what comes back with Run once before you build on it.
Koncile OCR3

Parse Documents

ActionIn the docs only

Here is where your documents meet Koncile OCR: as its name says, this action sends documents to be parsed, and it is the module most scenarios on this page are built around.

When to use it
a supplier invoice or a signed form reaches another app and you want Koncile OCR to handle it without anyone forwarding it.
Watch out
Make lists no official description for it, so test with Run once on one real file first.
Koncile OCR4

Search Results

SearchIn the docs only

What Koncile OCR has already produced comes back into your scenario with this search module, so later modules can use it.

When to use it
after Parse Documents, or in a separate scenario that collects results for a spreadsheet or a report.
Watch out
a search returns zero, one or several bundles, and each bundle runs the next modules once, which counts one operation per module.

FAQ

Koncile OCR and Make: common questions

01Is the Koncile OCR Make integration free?
Yes, on the Make side: Koncile OCR is a standard app, available from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, a minimum of 15 minutes between scheduled runs, 5 minutes of execution at most, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams, Enterprise) drop the interval to 1 minute and count usage in operations per month. You still need your own active Koncile OCR account; its subscription is on the Koncile OCR pricing page.
02What do you need to connect Koncile OCR to Make?
Two things: an active Koncile OCR account and an API key. You generate the key in Koncile OCR under Settings > API with the Generate API Key button, then copy it. In Make, add a Koncile OCR module, click Create a connection, give it a name if you like and paste the key. That single connection then serves all 4 Koncile OCR modules in your scenarios. If the key stops working, generate a new one in the same place and update the connection.
03Can a Koncile OCR scenario start in real time?
Not from Koncile OCR itself, because the app has no trigger module in Make. The scenario starts another way. You can open it with a module from the app where your documents arrive, such as a storage or email tool, and then pass each file to Parse Documents. Or you can rely on the schedule on the first module, every 15 minutes by default, with 15 minutes as the floor on the Free plan and 1 minute on paid plans.
04What if a Koncile OCR module you need is missing?
Use Make an API Call. It reaches any endpoint of the Koncile OCR API with the same connection, so you can cover a request the three other modules do not handle. Keep in mind that Make labels this app's documentation as AI-generated content that may contain mistakes, so confirm important details with Koncile OCR before you rely on them. Testing each new step with Run once also shows you exactly what comes back.
05Should you use Make or n8n for Koncile OCR?
It depends on the tool your team already works in. In Make, Koncile OCR comes with 4 modules, including Make an API Call for anything they leave out, and it runs from the Free plan. Many apps also have a node in n8n, so check whether Koncile OCR does before you choose. There is no general winner between the two; compare the modules each side offers for the job you have in mind, and pick the editor your team finds easier to maintain.
