Hi. So what they say about n8n being simple to use can be challenged. I have a real simple workflow that I just can’t produce and I have wasted countless days and nights tryin to make it happen. All day today and no luck. Chat bot keeps going around in circles, constantly repeating myself, and having me enter information to fields that don’t exist…after countless times providing my n8n version. Anyway, can somebody please direct me to some samples, already workflows that can automatically go into a Google folder, triggered by a new document that’s a *.pdf, OCR it, and return it to a preformatted Google Sheet. I’m going to research in the community but this is a drag. ![]()
Hey @AmatuerAIAgent hope all is well.
Which part of this workflow is giving you a hard time? Are you tripping over a specific part of this task? You already have a solid plan:
- Trigger, which detects changes in Google Drive folder
- Downloading the file from Google Drive folder
- OCR-ing the PDF file
- Extracting relevant information from the output
- Returning the relevant information as Google Sheet
What have you finished already and what is not working?
