## Every minute you spend splitting files manually costs you productivity
Manual document sorting drains time, increases errors, and delays downstream workflows.

- **40%** — productivity lost to manual file handling
- **3x higher** — error rate without automation
- **3 days** — wasted organizing large document sets

## Your Automation, One Flow Away...
With CloudFiles Document AI flow action + Salesforce Flow, every file upload becomes a trigger for smart document splitting

## See how it works — step by step

### Step 1. Upload & Trigger AI

Step 1. Upload & Trigger AI

Upload your document to Salesforce or any connected storage. The Flow automatically detects the upload and routes it to CloudFiles Document AI.

- Works with multiple sources — Salesforce, SharePoint, Google Drive, and OneDrive
- Detects both new uploads and file updates automatically.
- Requires zero manual intervention once configured.

### Step 2. Detect Sections & Split

Step 2. Detect Sections & Split

AI analyzes content, layout, and context to locate logical divisions — such as supplier IDs, admission sections, or policy headers — and splits them accordingly.

- Identify sections using AI-based pattern recognition and custom rules.
- Combine content-based and layout-based detection for precision.
- Handle hundreds of pages or bulk uploads with no performance lag.

### Step 3. Sync Back to CRM or Storage

Step 3. Sync Back to CRM or Storage

Each split file is automatically stored and linked back to the right CRM record or folder, ready for use.

- Automatically names and routes each split file to its correct location.
- Syncs in real time with Salesforce records and connected storages.
- Triggers post-split workflows like approvals, notifications, or next-step automations.
