Auto logging invoices using Azure and Telegram

Hey everyone!

I’m working on a project to automate my expense tracking. I want to build an agent that takes receipts/invoices from Telegram, extracts the Date, Amount, and Category (Credit/Debit), and logs them into my existing Excel/Sheets database. I’ve got the database ready, but I’m struggling with the Azure-to-Sheets workflow.

Has anyone built something similar or can point me in the right direction?

@sarinah I’m on a similar path right now, mostly deep in the data extraction side. If your receipts are consistent PDFs, invoice2data is the way to go. For scans, I’m using Mistral OCR + an LLM to clean up the data.

Biggest piece of advice? Don’t trust the AI blindly. Definitely add a check/verification step in your workflow to ensure the data is 100% right before it saves to your sheet.

Hope this helps!
