Abstract

Systems, methods, and apparatus are provided for actuating an executable file based on data derived from a set of documents. A first processor associated with a user account may receive input of a first document having a first format and a second document having a second format. The second format may be different from the first format. A second processor associated with the user account may receive an executable file in a standardized format including a set of parameters derived from the first document and the second document. Based on the set of parameters, the second processor may automatically trigger execution of the file.
