Extract Receipt Data from Photos to Google Sheets
Automates capturing expense receipts via Telegram bot, extracts data using Mindee OCR, and logs to Google Sheets with user confirmation.
This n8n workflow, named BillBot, streamlines expense tracking by receiving receipt photos from a Telegram bot. It uses the Mindee API to parse key details like category, date, merchant, time, amount, currency, and user info from the image. The extracted data is formatted and appended directly to a Google Sheets spreadsheet for easy record-keeping.
Benefits include effortless automation of receipt logging, reducing manual data entry errors and saving hours weekly for personal finance or small business accounting. Integrations with Telegram for input, Mindee for AI-powered OCR, Twilio for potential SMS alerts, and Google Sheets for storage make it robust and scalable.
Ideal use cases: Personal expense tracking, team reimbursement workflows, or freelance invoicing. Users send a photo to the bot, get instant confirmation, and data syncs seamlessly—perfect for on-the-go capture without apps or scanning.
