Attio Integration

File every inbound deck on its Attio record — automatically. There’s no native DeckExtract app inside Attio; the integration is the DeckExtract API plus Attio’s own API, joined in an automation tool or a short script.

The flow: inbound DocSend/Papermark link → DeckExtract API → PDF link + analysis → Attio note + record attributes on the matching company or deal.

1. Extract the deck

One DeckExtract call returns a download link for the PDF and (with a Pro key and analyze: true) a structured breakdown of the deck: 

curl -X POST https://deckextract.com/api/v2/extract \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer dk_your_api_key" \
  -d '{
    "url": "https://docsend.com/view/abc123",
    "analyze": true
  }'

The response contains download.url and an analysis object (company, team, round, metrics, market, competition). See the API docs for the full shape.

2. Write it to Attio

Match the record (by company domain or name), then add a note that carries the deck link. Attio’s Create a note endpoint: 

# Attach the deck as a note on an Attio record
curl -X POST https://api.attio.com/v2/notes \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ATTIO_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "data": {
      "parent_object": "companies",
      "parent_record_id": "RECORD_ID",
      "title": "Pitch deck (seed)",
      "format": "plaintext",
      "content": "Deck PDF: <download.url from DeckExtract>\nStage: seed | Ask: $5M | ARR: $1.2M"
    }
  }'

To make the deck data queryable, also write the analysis fields onto the record’s attributes (create the attributes once in Attio first): 

# Set structured fields on the record from the analysis object
PATCH https://api.attio.com/v2/objects/companies/records/RECORD_ID
{
  "data": { "values": {
    "round_stage":   "{{ analysis.round.stage }}",
    "raise_amount":  {{ analysis.round.amount.value }},
    "arr":           {{ analysis.metrics.arr.value }}
  } }
}

The exact object slug (companies, deals) and attribute slugs depend on your Attio workspace. Treat the snippets above as the shape; confirm names against your own objects & attributes.

The no-code path

Don’t want to run a script? Wire the same two API calls together in an automation tool — Attio is reachable from each via its HTTP/API actions:

  • n8n — HTTP Request to DeckExtract, then HTTP Request to the Attio API
  • Zapier — Webhooks by Zapier for both calls
  • Make — HTTP modules, or Make’s Attio app for the write step
  • MCP server — let an AI assistant fetch the deck, then drop the PDF on the record

Why bother

DocSend and Papermark links expire and get swapped mid-raise — the version you diligenced is the one that matters. Archiving the PDF on the Attio record the day it arrives means the deck is one click away when the company comes back for its next round. The same pattern works for Affinity, Salesforce, HubSpot, and Notion.
