What you can automate

What can the Taggun Receipt OCR Make integration do for you?

The Taggun Receipt OCR Make integration lets a Make scenario, the automation you build in Make, send a receipt to Taggun and get the extracted data back. Each step of that automation is a module, and here every module is an action: Taggun reads, Make carries the result to the next app.

Expense claims that fill themselves. An employee snaps a receipt, another app hands the file to Make, and Extract Receipt Data from a File (Detailed) returns the figures plus the line items, ready to be mapped into your expense tool.

A quick check on supplier links. Some receipts never exist as files, only as images hosted online. Extract Receipt Data from a URL (Basic) reads them straight from the address and gives the essentials with a confidence score, so a reviewer can focus on the doubtful ones.

Anything the listed modules skip. Make an API Call reaches any endpoint of the Taggun API with the same connection, which covers needs the four extraction modules leave open.

Two limits to keep in mind. The app has no trigger, so another app or a schedule has to start the scenario. And Make's own documentation page for Taggun says it was written with AI and may contain mistakes, so test on a real receipt before trusting the output. If you are weighing platforms, the n8n vs Make comparison lays out the criteria, the Make pricing page explains how operations are counted, and Make training helps if this is your first scenario.

Connect

How do you connect Taggun Receipt OCR to Make?

  1. 01

    Get your API key

    Register for a Taggun Receipt OCR account. Taggun sends the API key to the email address you signed up with, so open that message and copy the key. An active account and this key are the only prerequisites the documentation lists.

  2. 02

    Open the connection window

    In your Make scenario, add any Taggun Receipt OCR module and click Create a connection. The connection is your Taggun account linked to Make once, then reused by every Taggun module you add later.

  3. 03

    Name it and paste the key

    The Connection name field is optional, but a clear label helps when several people share the workspace. Paste the API key you copied, confirm, and Make saves the connection for the whole scenario.

First scenario

Your first scenario with Taggun Receipt OCR

GoalWhen a receipt file lands in another app, Make sends it to Taggun Receipt OCR and returns the detailed receipt data.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    On the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to add the first module. Since Taggun has no trigger, pick the app where your receipt files show up.

  2. 02

    Add the Taggun module

    Click the + to the right of that first module, search for Taggun Receipt OCR and choose Extract Receipt Data from a File (Detailed). Click Create a connection and paste your API key.

  3. 03

    Map the receipt file

    In the Taggun module, map the file coming from the first module. Each file travels as a bundle, one item passed from one module to the next, so one receipt means one extraction.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Drop a real receipt in the source app and click Run once. Open the bundle the Taggun module received and read what it extracted before you connect anything downstream.

  5. 05

    Schedule and switch on

    Set the schedule on the first module, every 15 minutes by default, then switch the scenario on. Each module run on a bundle is one operation, the unit Make counts on your plan.

Modules

What each Taggun Receipt OCR module does

Taggun Receipt OCR gives you 5 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Taggun Receipt OCR1

Extract Receipt Data from a File (Basic)

Action

In Make“Extracts essential receipt data from uploaded image files with confidence scoring. View full documentation at https://developers.taggun.io/reference/upload-file-verbose”

Hand this module a receipt image file and it gives back the core receipt data, each value with a confidence score that tells you how sure the reading is.

When to use it
you only need the main figures from photos your team uploads and prefer a lighter result to map.
Watch out
it skips the line items; switch to the Detailed version if someone needs to see what was bought.
Taggun Receipt OCR2

Extract Receipt Data from a File (Detailed)

Action

In Make“Extracts detailed receipt data from uploaded files with additional metadata and line items. View full documentation at https://developers.taggun.io/reference/upload-file-verbose”

Here you get the fullest reading of an uploaded receipt: the essential data, extra metadata and the individual line items, so the whole ticket becomes structured information.

When to use it
expense reports or bookkeeping where each purchased item has to be recorded, not just the total.
Watch out
a richer result means more fields to map downstream, so run it once and look at the bundle before building the rest.
Taggun Receipt OCR3

Extract Receipt Data from a URL (Basic)

Action

In Make“Extracts essential receipt data from web-hosted images with confidence scoring. View full documentation at https://developers.taggun.io/reference/upload-file-verbose”

Point this module at the web address of a receipt image and it returns the essential data with confidence scores, without you downloading the file first.

When to use it
the receipt already lives online, for example as a link stored in a form answer or a database row.
Watch out
the module reads images hosted on the web, so a link that asks for a login may fail; check it with Run once.
Taggun Receipt OCR4

Extract Receipt Data from a URL (Detailed)

Action

In Make“Extracts detailed receipt data from web-hosted images with additional metadata and line items.”

The detailed reading for images hosted online: from one link you receive the receipt data plus additional metadata and every line item Taggun can find.

When to use it
your receipts arrive as links and your accounting needs the itemized breakdown, not only the amount.
Watch out
if you only store totals, the Basic URL module keeps your mapping shorter and easier to maintain.
Taggun Receipt OCR5

Make an API Call

Action

In Make“Performs an arbitrary authorized API call.”

This module opens the rest of the Taggun API to your scenario: you choose the endpoint, and Make sends the request with the connection you already set up.

When to use it
you need a Taggun feature that none of the four extraction modules offers.
Watch out
nothing is prefilled, so keep the Taggun API reference open to build the request correctly.

FAQ

Questions about Taggun Receipt OCR and Make

01Is the Taggun Receipt OCR Make integration free?
Yes on the Make side: Taggun Receipt OCR is a standard app, available from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, a minimum of 15 minutes between scheduled runs, files up to 5 MB and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans lower the interval to 1 minute and remove the cap on active scenarios. Your Taggun account is separate: the documentation asks for an active account and points to Taggun's own pricing page for the subscription, so check it there.
02What does it take to connect Taggun Receipt OCR to Make?
An active Taggun Receipt OCR account and its API key. Register with Taggun, copy the key sent to your registration email, then add any Taggun module in Make, click Create a connection, give it a name if you want and paste the key. That single connection then serves all five modules in every scenario of your workspace, so you set it up only once. If Make refuses the key, open the registration email again and copy the key without a trailing space.
03Can a Taggun Receipt OCR scenario start on its own?
Not from Taggun itself, because the app has no trigger module. The scenario starts with another app, for instance the one where receipt files or links appear, or with a schedule set on the first module, every 15 minutes by default. Taggun then acts as the step that reads each receipt passed to it. On the Free plan, scheduled runs cannot be closer than 15 minutes apart; paid plans go down to 1 minute.
04What if a Taggun Receipt OCR module is missing?
Use Make an API Call. It is included for this app, and it can reach any endpoint of the Taggun API using the same connection, so features outside the four extraction modules stay within reach. Also note that Make's documentation for Taggun is flagged as AI-generated and may contain mistakes; when a result looks off, compare it with Taggun's own documentation or contact Taggun directly. Test on a real receipt.
05Should you use Make or n8n for Taggun Receipt OCR?
It depends on your criteria. On Make, Taggun Receipt OCR offers 5 modules: four ways to read a receipt, from a file or a link, in a basic or detailed version, plus Make an API Call for the rest. Many apps also have an n8n node, so check whether Taggun has one before deciding, then compare how each tool fits the apps your receipts come from and the way your team prefers to build.
