Small property management operations often store lease PDFs in Google Drive folders with no systematic data extraction. The data exists in the documents, but every request for a specific term — a rent amount, an expiration date — requires someone to open and read the PDF again.
Download the executed lease PDFs from your Google Drive folder. Organize by property for efficient batch processing.
Upload the PDFs from your Downloads folder to Lextract. Process each document to generate a complete abstract.
Check confidence scores for each lease. Flag any issues for manual verification before building the database.
Download all lease abstracts as a consolidated CSV or Excel file — one row per lease with all 126 fields as columns.
Save the consolidated lease database to Google Drive alongside the original PDFs. Now any team member can look up lease terms from the structured spreadsheet without opening every PDF.
Learn about the full integration between Lextract and Google Drive, including supported export formats and critical fields.
View Google Drive integration →Yes. Add a column in the exported database for the Google Drive file URL. This creates a clickable link from each lease record back to the original PDF for quick reference.
Download leases from each folder and upload them to Lextract in batches organized by property or tenant. The extraction assigns each document a name based on the file name you upload.
