With MagicalAPI and viaSocket<\/strong>, you can build an automated resume parsing workflow that starts when a new resume is added to Google Drive, sends it to MagicalAPI for processing, waits for the result, and then automatically saves the extracted information to Google Sheets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this guide, we’ll build the workflow step by step:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Drive \u2192 Create Download URL \u2192 MagicalAPI Resume Parser \u2192 Delay \u2192 Check Resume Parser Status \u2192 Google Sheets<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This integration is also part of the partnership between MagicalAPI and viaSocket<\/strong>, bringing AI-powered resume processing into no-code automation workflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"MagicalAPI<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Create a New Workflow in viaSocket<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, log in to your viaSocket account and create a new workflow<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Step<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A viaSocket workflow consists of multiple steps that pass information from one application to another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this workflow, we’ll use Google Drive as the trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first step will be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New File Added to Google Drive<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Step<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Select Google Drive<\/strong> as the application for your trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then choose the trigger that detects when a new file is added to a specific folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Select the Google Drive Folder<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Next, select the Google Drive folder where you’ll upload your resumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, you could create a folder called:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resumes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every time a new resume is added to this folder, viaSocket will start the workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Run a test to make sure viaSocket can detect a file from the selected folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The test data should return information about the uploaded file, including the file name and file identifier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Step<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Create a Downloadable URL for the File<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The next step is to create a URL that can be used to download the resume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is important because the resume needs to be accessible to the MagicalAPI Resume Parser<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add the appropriate Google Drive step in viaSocket to create a downloadable URL for the file detected in the previous step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use the file information returned by the Google Drive trigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Step<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The output of this step should contain the URL that will be passed to MagicalAPI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your workflow now looks like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Drive \u2192 Download URL<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: Add MagicalAPI Resume Parser<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now we can send the resume to MagicalAPI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add a new action to your workflow and select MagicalAPI<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Step<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then select the Resume Parser<\/strong> action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MagicalAPI’s Resume Parser extracts structured information from resumes so that it can be used by the next steps of your automation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Step 5: Connect Your MagicalAPI Account<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After selecting the Resume Parser, connect your MagicalAPI account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enter your MagicalAPI API key when requested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you haven’t generated an API key yet, log in to your MagicalAPI dashboard and create one from the API section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Step<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then return to viaSocket and connect your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once the connection is successful, you can configure the Resume Parser.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 6: Send the Resume to MagicalAPI<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now we need to tell MagicalAPI which resume it should parse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Resume Parser step, use the downloadable URL generated in Step 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Map the download URL from the previous step into the appropriate Resume Parser input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The important connection here is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Drive File \u2192 Download URL \u2192 MagicalAPI Resume Parser<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once configured, the Resume Parser will receive the resume URL whenever a new file enters your Google Drive folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Run a test to make sure the request is sent successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 7: Wait for the Resume Parser<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Resume parsing is an asynchronous process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That means the initial request starts the parsing process, but the final result may not be available immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this reason, we’ll add a Delay<\/strong> step to the workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add the Delay step after the MagicalAPI Resume Parser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Step<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Configure the delay according to your workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of this step is to give the Resume Parser enough time to process the resume before we check whether the result is ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your workflow now looks like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Drive \u2192 Download URL \u2192 MagicalAPI Resume Parser \u2192 Delay<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 8: Check if the Resume Parser Result is Ready<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After the delay, we need to check the status of the Resume Parser request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add another MagicalAPI step to the workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This step checks whether the parsing result is ready and retrieves the response when available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use the request or job identifier returned by the initial Resume Parser step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Step<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Map the identifier from the Resume Parser step into the status-check step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This connects the two MagicalAPI steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start Parsing \u2192 Wait \u2192 Check Result<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 9: Retrieve the Parsed Resume Data<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once the Resume Parser has finished processing the resume, the status-check step will return the parsed information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The returned data can contain structured information extracted from the resume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, depending on the resume and the available output, you may receive information such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
