# What's the best way to bulk upload PDFs into Parabola?

> The best way to bulk upload PDFs into Parabola is by emailing them into a flow that contains an **Extract from email** step. Each PDF will be treated as an individual data input and parsed by the inbound email step, it can then be inserted into a Parabola table for further processing or export.

## **Step-by-step setup**

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create your parsing flow">
    * Create a new flow that is designed to parse a single PDF file.
    * Your first step should be **Extract from email**
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure the email trigger">
    * Inside the email import step, choose to trigger the flow once per attachment.
    * This ensures each file is processed individually, even if they are all sent in a single email.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send an email with all your PDFs attached">
    * Email up to your PDFs as attachments to a single message, emailing to the unique address generated by the flow.
    * Each attachment will be processed in sequence.
  </Step>
