Parse and extract invoice data with Nanonets OCR and export to Excel
This workflow contains community nodes that are only compatible with the self-hosted version of n8n. Description This workflow automates document processing and structured table extraction using the Nanonets API. You can submit a PDF file via an n8n form trigger or webhook—the workflow then forwards the document to Nanonets, waits for asynchronous parsing to finish, retrieves the results (including header fields and line items/tables), and returns the output as an Excel file. Ideal for automating invoice, receipt, or order data extraction with downstream business use. How It Works A document is uploaded (via n8n form or webhook). The PDF is sent to the Nanonets Workflow API for parsing. The workflow waits until processing is complete. Parsed results are fetched. Both top-level fields and any table rows/line items are extracted and restructured. Data is exported to Excel format and delivered to the requester. Setup Steps Nanonets Account: Register for a Nanonets account and set up a workflow for your specific document type (e.g., invoice, receipt). Credentials in n8n: Add HTTP Basic Auth credentials in n8n for the Nanonets API (never store credentials directly in node parameters). Webhook/Form Configuration: Option 1: Configure and enable the included n8n Form Trigger node for document uploads. Option 2: Use the included Webhook node to accept external POSTs with a PDF file. Adjust Workflow: Update any HTTP nodes to use your credential profile. Insert your Nanonets Workflow ID in all relevant nodes. Test the Workflow: Enable the workflow and try with a sample document. Features Accepts documents via n8n Form Trigger or direct webhook POST. Securely sends files to Nanonets for document parsing (credentials stored in n8n credentials manager). Automatically waits for async processing, checking Nanonets until results are ready. Extracts both header data and all table/line items into a tabular format. Exports results as an Excel file download. Modular nodes allow easy customization or extension. Prerequisites Nanonets account with workflow configured for your document type. n8n instance with HTTP Request, Webhook/Form, Code, and Excel/Spreadsheet nodes enabled. Valid HTTP Basic Auth credentials saved in n8n for API access. Example Use Cases | Scenario | Benefit | |-----------------------|--------------------------------------------------| | Invoice Processing | Automated extraction of line items and totals | | Receipt Digitization | Parse amounts and charges for expense reports | | Purchase Orders | Convert scanned POs into structured Excel sheets | Notes You must set up credentials in the n8n credentials manager—do not store API keys directly in nodes. All configuration and endpoints are clearly explained with inline sticky notes in the workflow editor. Easily adaptable for other document types or similar APIs—just modify endpoints and result mapping.
By AnuragMonitor and download changed files from Google Drive automatically
Description This workflow automates the download of new or updated files from a Google Drive folder, processing only files changed since the last run using a timestamp control file. How It Works Triggered on a schedule. Checks for a n8nlastrun.txt file in your Google Drive to read when the workflow last ran. If missing, defaults to processing changes in the last 24 hours. Searches for new or modified files in your specified folder. Downloads new/changed files. Replaces the timestamp file with the current time for future runs. Setup Steps Set up your Google Drive credentials in n8n. Find the Folder ID of the Google Drive folder you wish to monitor. Edit all Google Drive nodes: Select your credentials Paste the Folder ID Adjust the schedule trigger if needed. Activate the workflow. Features No duplicate file processing (idempotent) Handles missing timestamp files Clear logical sticky notes in the editor Modular, extendable design Prerequisites Google Drive API credentials connected to n8n Target Google Drive folder accessible by the credentials
By AnuragExtract and structure invoice data with DocSumo and export to Excel
Description This workflow automates the extraction of structured data from invoices or similar documents using Docsumo's API. Users can upload a PDF via an n8n form trigger, which is then sent to Docsumo for processing and structured parsing. The workflow fetches key document metadata and all line items, reconstructs each invoice row with combined header and item details, and finally exports all results as an Excel file. Ideal for automating invoice data entry, reporting, or integrating with accounting systems. How It Works A user uploads a PDF document using the integrated n8n form trigger. The workflow securely sends the document to Docsumo via REST API. After uploading, it checks and retrieves the parsed document results. Header information and table line items are extracted and mapped into structured records. The complete result is exported as an Excel (.xls) file. Setup Steps Docsumo Account: Register and obtain your API key from Docsumo. n8n Credentials Manager: Add your Docsumo API key as an HTTP header credential (never hardcode the key in the workflow). Workflow Configuration: In the HTTP Request nodes, set the authentication to your saved Docsumo credentials. Update the file type or document type in the request (e.g., "type": "invoice") as needed for your use case. Testing: Enable the workflow and use the built-in form to upload a sample invoice for extraction. Features Supports PDF uploads via n8n’s built-in form or via API/webhook extension. Sends files directly to Docsumo for document data extraction using secure credentials. Extracts invoice-level metadata (number, date, vendor, totals) and full line item tables. Consolidates all data in easy-to-use Excel format for download or integration. Modular node structure, easily extensible for further automation. Prerequisites Docsumo account with API access enabled. n8n instance with form, HTTP Request, Code, and Excel/Convert to File nodes. Working Docsumo API Key stored securely in n8n’s credential manager. Example Use Cases | Scenario | Benefit | |---------------------|-----------------------------------------| | Invoice Automation | Extract line items and metadata rapidly | | Receipts Processing | Parse and digitize business receipts | | Bulk Bill Imports | Batch process bills for analytics | Notes Credentials Security: Do not store your API key directly in HTTP Request nodes; always use n8n credentials manager. Sticky Notes: The workflow includes sticky notes for setup, input, API call, extraction, and output steps to assist template users. Custom Columns: You can customize header or line item extraction by editing the Code node as needed.
