Description

New PDFs and images dropped into a Google Drive folder turn into clean CSV files ready for finance work. Teams move from messy statements and receipts to structured rows in minutes. It is built for reconciliation, expense tracking, and audit support.

The flow watches a specific folder in Drive and checks each new file. A router sends PDFs down one path and images down another. For PDFs, the file is downloaded, text is extracted, then an AI model on OpenRouter turns the content into clear columns before saving a CSV back to Drive. For images, the file is downloaded and read with Vertex AI using a Gemini model to capture the text, then the data is saved as CSV in a Drive folder. Using two paths gives better accuracy because each file type uses the right tool.

Setup needs a Google service account that can access the folder, an OpenRouter API key, and access to Gemini and Vertex AI in your Google Cloud project. Expect strong time savings and fewer copy and paste errors on bank statements and receipts. Teams that manage monthly statements, vendor invoices, or card receipts will see quick results and easier reporting.

Tools Required

What this workflow does?

  • Google Drive watch on a specific folder to catch new PDFs and images every minute
  • Smart routing by file type using a switch that reads the MIME type
  • PDF path: download, extract text, send to OpenRouter for structured fields, then convert to CSV
  • Image path: download, read text with Vertex AI using a Gemini model, then convert to CSV
  • CSV files saved back to a selected Google Drive folder with a clear date based name
  • Service account authentication for secure Drive access without user prompts

What are the benefits?

  • Reduce manual data entry from hours to minutes by turning uploads into ready CSV files
  • Automate up to 90 percent of repetitive statement and receipt processing
  • Improve data accuracy by up to 95 percent by removing copy and paste steps
  • Handle large volumes by processing files as they arrive in Drive
  • Connect Google Drive with AI tools to unify intake and output in one place

How to set this up?

  1. Import the template into n8n: Create a new workflow in n8n > Click the three dots menu > Select 'Import from File' > Choose the downloaded JSON file.
  2. You'll need accounts with Google Drive, Google Vertex AI, Google Gemini and OpenRouter. See the Tools Required section above for links to create accounts with these services.
  3. In Google Cloud Console, create a service account and enable the Google Drive API. Generate a JSON key file for this service account.
  4. In Google Drive, create an input folder for uploads and an output folder for CSV files. Share both folders with your service account email so it has access.
  5. In n8n, open the Google Drive Trigger node and set the folder ID to the input folder. Choose Service Account authentication and select or create your Google Service Account credential.
  6. In n8n Credentials, create a Google Service Account credential by uploading the JSON key. Use a clear name so you can reuse it on all Drive nodes.
  7. Create an OpenRouter API key in your OpenRouter account. In n8n Credentials, add an HTTP Header Auth credential with key Authorization and value Bearer your_api_key.
  8. Get a Google Gemini API key from Google AI Studio. In n8n Credentials, create a Google Gemini API credential and paste the key. Link this credential to the Google Gemini Chat Model node.
  9. In Google Cloud Console, enable Vertex AI. Grant your service account the needed Vertex roles. In the Vertex AI extract text node, set your project and region as required and make sure it is connected to the Gemini model node.
  10. Open the Upload to Google Drive nodes and set the output folder ID. Keep Service Account authentication selected so CSV files save to the right place.
  11. Test the PDF path: upload a sample bank statement PDF to the input folder. In n8n, check Executions and confirm a CSV appears in the output folder with the expected columns.
  12. Test the image path: upload a clear photo of a receipt. Confirm the CSV appears and the text is readable. If needed, adjust prompts in the HTTP Request or Vertex chain to refine column names.
  13. If you see permission errors, confirm the Drive folders are shared with the service account and that Vertex AI and Drive APIs are enabled. Re run a small test file and review node logs for details.

Automate LINE Payments to Google Sheets
Capture bank slip images sent on LINE, save the file in Google Drive, and log key payment details in Google Sheets. Teams can confirm transfers fast without typing data by hand. Ideal for stores that verify payments before shipping orders. A webhook receives an image from LINE. The flow builds the file URL, downloads the image with secure headers, and uploads it to a set Drive folder with the message id as the file name. An OCR.space request reads Thai text from the slip and returns raw text. Code then pulls fields like amount, fee, date and time, sender name, and receiver bank. The row is appended to a sheet with clean columns for easy review. Setup needs a LINE Messaging API channel, a Google account for Drive and Sheets, and an OCR.space API key. Expect faster checks and fewer mistakes, often cutting slip handling from 15 minutes to 2 minutes per payment. Great for shops that get transfer slips on chat and need a daily payment log with both the image and the parsed data in one place.

Automate Gmail Invoice Filing to Google Drive
Turn invoice emails into dated PDFs and file them in the right Google Drive folder without touching a mouse. Built for teams that get billing emails with a link to view the invoice online, this setup keeps finance records tidy and easy to find. A Gmail trigger checks your inbox every minute. A rule keeps only messages that match your sender or subject. The HTML step pulls all links in the email and a split step looks at each link. A filter keeps the invoice link only. A web call sends that link to a PDF service to create a clean PDF. The file is then uploaded to Google Drive, renamed with today’s date, and moved into your chosen folder. Messages that do not match are ignored. You will need Gmail and Google Drive connected in n8n Cloud and an API key for a PDF conversion service. Paste your API key and your Drive folder URL in the setup node. Adjust the match rules to your vendor’s sender or subject. Expect to cut monthly filing from an hour to a few minutes and reduce naming mistakes. This is great for subscription receipts, SaaS invoices, and vendor bills sent as links.

Automate LINE to Google Sheets Slip Capture
Collect payment slip data directly from chat and store it in a sheet without manual typing. Users send a message or a slip image in LINE, get an instant reply, and the key fields go into Google Sheets for finance tracking and review. A webhook receives each LINE message and a Switch classifies it as text or image. For text, a chat agent with memory answers the user using Gemini, so the bot remembers the same user across messages. For images, the flow downloads the image from LINE, sends it to Gemini with a clear prompt, and expects JSON with Status, From, To, Date, and Amount. The bot replies to the user in LINE and then writes the slip results to Google Sheets in the same structure. This creates one place to handle both free text and payment slip images. You will need a LINE Messaging API channel, a Google Sheets spreadsheet with the needed columns, and a Google Gemini API key. Teams can cut data entry time and reduce errors from manual reading. Common uses include bank slip verification, expense reviews, and payment confirmations inside chat. Set the sheet columns, connect your credentials, and test with a real slip image to see the record appear in seconds.
