Excel Data Entry Automation
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I want to use Microsoft power automate for a simple RPA on my desktop browser. I want to repeatedly run a search on 6 websites which are clerk of court websites because I am an attorney trying to reach prospective clients who have recently been sued. My goal is to launch and sustain a mail merge campaign to these prospective clients. So I need to automate a regularly occuring search for the most recent lawsuits that are filed on these clerks' websites and extract the defendants' names, mailing addresses and case numbers. The only problem is that the addresses are not found neatly on the web pages of the search results, but they must be extracted from individual PDF documents by going into each individual case docket and opening a certain document called a summons, which will have the defendant's address usually in the middle of the page, but always on the first page of the summons. Some of the summons are not PDF readable so I will need OCR functionality. Finally, when the data points are extracted, they can be exported into an excel file for mail merge and printing (that the easy part). The objective is to create about 7,000 individual mailings each month and to run the automation about twice per week. I need help finding the right OCR tools to work with power automate. Please help me.
