OCR + Google Calendar

Anyone have a workflow built for telegram trigger that contains an image, OCR, and then add to Google Calendar? Just looking for a jumping off point if anyone has done something similar. Thanks!

Hey @Dan_Bureau,

We don’t have a specific example for this one and it depends on what data you want to add to the cal invite but as a starting point I would probably use something like the below and let OpenAI OCR the image for you.

Let us know how you get on and if you make something neat we have a creators program you could join to share the template with other users.

Jon,

Thanks - should have posted back. I got it working. I am using google cloud vision api. I guess it would have been easier to use the OpenAI Analyze Image node - good suggestion.

It has actually worked for a bit more then I anticipated. For instance, I have used it to OCR some hand written notes and recipes as well as the add to calendar functionality.

Top half of my workflow below, I am guessing there is probably a better way
then the initial switch but it is working for now.

Thanks for the reply,

Dan
