LlamaParse Document Pipeline Triggers (Deprecated)

Deprecated

The auto_mode_configuration feature is deprecated. For new projects, we recommend using the Cost Optimizer feature instead, which provides similar functionality without requiring a parsing loop.

This document provides detailed information about all available triggers in the LlamaParse document pipeline. These triggers can be used in the auto_mode_configuration_json to conditionally apply specific parsing configurations to pages that match certain criteria.

Content-Based Triggers

Trigger	Description	Example
text_in_page	Activates when a specific text string is found within the page’s text or markdown content.	"text_in_page": "Executive Summary"
table_in_page	Activates when the page contains an HTML table element or markdown table syntax.	"table_in_page": true
image_in_page	Activates when the page contains images (excluding full-page screenshots).	"image_in_page": true
regexp_in_page	Activates when the page’s markdown content matches a specified regular expression pattern.	"regexp_in_page": "\\d{4}-\\d{2}-\\d{2}"

File-Based Triggers

Trigger	Description	Example
filename_regexp	Activates when the filename matches a specified regular expression pattern.	"filename_regexp": "invoice.*\\.pdf"

Text Metrics Triggers

Trigger	Description	Example
page_longer_than_n_chars	Activates when the page’s text or markdown content exceeds a specified character count.	"page_longer_than_n_chars": "1000"
page_shorter_than_n_chars	Activates when the page’s text or markdown content is less than a specified character count.	"page_shorter_than_n_chars": "500"
page_contains_at_least_n_words	Activates when the page contains more than a specified number of valid words (2+ characters).	"page_contains_at_least_n_words": "200"
page_contains_at_most_n_words	Activates when the page contains fewer than a specified number of valid words (2+ characters).	"page_contains_at_most_n_words": "50"
page_contains_at_least_n_lines	Activates when the page has more than a specified number of non-empty lines.	"page_contains_at_least_n_lines": "20"
page_contains_at_most_n_lines	Activates when the page has fewer than a specified number of non-empty lines.	"page_contains_at_most_n_lines": "10"

Element Count Triggers

Trigger	Description	Example
page_contains_at_least_n_images	Activates when the page contains more than a specified number of images.	"page_contains_at_least_n_images": "2"
page_contains_at_most_n_images	Activates when the page contains fewer than a specified number of images.	"page_contains_at_most_n_images": "1"
page_contains_at_least_n_tables	Activates when the page contains more than a specified number of tables.	"page_contains_at_least_n_tables": "1"
page_contains_at_most_n_tables	Activates when the page contains fewer than a specified number of tables.	"page_contains_at_most_n_tables": "3"
page_contains_at_least_n_links	Activates when the page contains more than a specified number of links.	"page_contains_at_least_n_links": "5"
page_contains_at_most_n_links	Activates when the page contains fewer than a specified number of links.	"page_contains_at_most_n_links": "10"
page_contains_at_least_n_charts	Activates when the page contains more than a specified number of charts.	"page_contains_at_least_n_charts": "1"
page_contains_at_most_n_charts	Activates when the page contains fewer than a specified number of charts.	"page_contains_at_most_n_charts": "2"
page_contains_at_least_n_layout_elements	Activates when the page contains more than a specified number of layout elements.	"page_contains_at_least_n_layout_elements": "10"
page_contains_at_most_n_layout_elements	Activates when the page contains fewer than a specified number of layout elements.	"page_contains_at_most_n_layout_elements": "5"
full_page_image_in_page	Activates when page has ~full page image, likely scan

Numeric Content Triggers

Trigger	Description	Example
page_contains_at_least_n_percent_numbers	Activates when more than a specified percentage of words in the page are numbers. Numbers with punctuation (like “1,000.50”) are correctly identified.	"page_contains_at_least_n_percent_numbers": "30"
page_contains_at_most_n_percent_numbers	Activates when less than a specified percentage of words in the page are numbers. Numbers with punctuation are correctly identified.	"page_contains_at_most_n_percent_numbers": "10"

Layout-Based Triggers

Trigger	Description	Example
layout_element_in_page	Activates when the page contains a specific layout element type.	"layout_element_in_page": "table"
layout_element_in_page_confidence_threshold	Specifies the minimum confidence level for the layout_element_in_page trigger.	"layout_element_in_page_confidence_threshold": "0.8"

Usage Example

Here’s an example of how to use these triggers in an auto_mode_configuration_json:

[
  {
    "parsing_conf": {
      "user_prompt": "Extract all tabular data into a structured format",
    },
    "table_in_page": true
  },
  {
    "parsing_conf": {
      "user_prompt": "Summarize the executive summary section",
    },
    "text_in_page": "Executive Summary"
  },
  {
    "parsing_conf": {
      "user_prompt": "Extract financial figures from this numbers-heavy page",
    },
    "page_contains_at_least_n_percent_numbers": "25"
  }
]

Notes

• Multiple triggers can be specified in a single configuration object. All specified conditions must be met for the parsing configuration to be applied.
• Values for numeric thresholds should be provided as strings, as shown in the examples.
• Regular expressions should use proper escaping as shown in the examples.
• When a page matches multiple configurations, only the first matching configuration in the array will be applied.
