Using Upload Document Function

The next process continues by using the "Upload Document" and "Get Document Data" functions in the library. "Upload Document" returns a "Document ID" to send your document to CaptureFast and to track the status of your document.

To use the Upload Document function, the path of your file should be given as the 1st parameter and the ${document_type_id} as the 2nd parameter. By doing this, we ensure to get the results of the document that we defined in CaptureFast.

Using Get Document Data Function

Results can be retrieved with the help of using ${documentid} (that has been supplied in Upload Document function) as a parameter.
