Recognize invoices / receipts from Google Drive and put them into Google Sheets

n8n template #2389

Summary

This workflow allows you to recognize a folder with receipts or invoices (make sure your files are in .pdf, .png, or .jpg format). The workflow can be triggered via the "Test workflow" button, and it also monitors the folder for new files, automatically recognizing them.

You need to connect it via 2 arrows to "Google Sheets1" and "Google Drive" nodes. So, the workflow has 2 triggers - via button, and via Google Sheets "new file" event - both of these triggers should be connected to 2 nodes. Here is how it should look like: https://ocr.oakpdf.com/n

How to set it up

Open template #2389 on n8n.io and click Use for free, or copy the template JSON and paste it onto an empty canvas in n8n.
Create 2 credentials under Credentials → Add credential: Google Sheets, Google Drive. Then open each of those nodes and pick the credential.
Click Execute workflow and step through each node's output to confirm the data looks right.
Toggle the workflow to Active so its trigger runs on its own.
