Tired of manually copying data from invoices and PDFs? 😫 We're revealing a production-ready n8n blueprint that automatically "reads" documents, extracts key data, and logs it perfectly in Google Sheets while you grab coffee.
We’ll talk about:
- A complete, step-by-step guide to building an automated document processing system for invoices, receipts, and contracts using n8n.
- The dual-engine processing approach: using the Tesseract.js node for free local OCR on images and the LlamaParse API for complex PDFs.
- How to use a powerful AI model like GPT-4o with a defined schema to accurately extract structured data like invoice numbers, totals, and vendor names.
- A robust, fault-tolerant system for automatically organizing your files in Google Drive, moving them from "unprocessed" to "processed" folders.
- The "bonus" workflow that takes your extracted data and uses another AI agent to generate comprehensive financial summary reports in Google Docs.
- Plus, a full setup guide, performance analysis, and cost breakdown showing how this system can run for as little as $10-$70/month.
