Embodiments provide for intelligent auto filing of documents to enterprise content management workspaces. One embodiment of a method includes receiving a document to auto file to a workspace of a content management system; detecting an indicator of an entity from the text of a document, the indicator of the entity corresponding to a value of a workspace attribute; determining a result set of candidate records based on querying a set of workspace data for workspaces with the workspace attribute value corresponding to the indicator; detecting mentions in the document text that match attribute values from the candidate records; generating a score for each candidate record based on the mentions detected in the text that match the attribute values from the candidate record; linking the document to an entity based on the scores for the candidate record; and automatically storing the document to a workspace based on the linking.
