# Classify Document

The Classify Document Activity takes a document as input and classifies the document to a predefined label representing a class. The activity takes a classifier definition file and a preprocessed document as the inputs. It outputs a [`ClassificationResult` ](/getting-started/rpa-studio/variables/activity-variables.md#classificationresult)variable which contains the predicted class as the output of the activity.

*see* [*Document Classifier*](/getting-started/rpa-studio/document-ai/document-classifier.md) *for more details on using the activity in a workflow.*

{% hint style="info" %}
User should preprocess the document using a Document AI Client with appropriate extraction enabled depending on the classifier used.

* **`Text`**\
  `Keyword Classifier`

The classifier definition can be created using `Create Classifier Window`
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.visualyze.ai/rpa-studio/document-ai/tasks/classify-document.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
