🤖 AI Invoice Processing Workflow using n8n & Groq AI

n8n Groq Google Drive Google Sheets MIT License Status


📌 Overview

This project demonstrates an AI-powered Invoice Processing Automation built using n8n, Google Drive, Groq AI, and Google Sheets.

Whenever a new PDF invoice is uploaded to Google Drive, the workflow automatically:

  • 📂 Detects the uploaded invoice
  • 📥 Downloads the PDF
  • 📄 Extracts text from the invoice
  • 🤖 Sends the extracted content to Groq AI
  • 📊 Extracts structured invoice information
  • 📈 Stores the output in Google Sheets

This automation eliminates repetitive manual work, improves processing speed, and enhances the accuracy of finance operations.
