Who is this for
Who is this for Freelancers, small business owners, and accountants who want to automate receipt management without manual data entry. What this workflow does This workflow monitors a Google Drive folder for new receipt images or PDFs. When a file is detected, it downloads and sends it to the Gemini AI API for OCR processing. Gemini extracts key details — date, store name, total amount, tax, payment method, and expense category — as structured JSON. The parsed data is appended to a Google Sheets spreadsheet, and the processed file is automatically moved to a separate folder. If more files remain, the workflow loops until all receipts are processed. How to set up Create two folders in Google Drive: one for unprocessed receipts and one for processed files Create a spreadsheet with columns: date, store_name, total_amount, tax_amount, payment_method, category, source_file, original_file_id Add your Gemini API key in n8n Settings → Variables as GEMINI_API_KEY Connect Google Drive and Google Sheets OAuth2 credentials Set folder IDs in the Watch Drive Folder, Check Remaining Files, and Move to Processed nodes Set your spreadsheet ID in the Append to Sheet node Requirements Google account with Drive and Sheets access Gemini API key (free tier available at Google AI Studio) How to customize Edit the prompt in the Gemini OCR node to add or change extracted fields Adjust the polling interval in the Watch Drive Folder node Modify expense categories in the prompt to match your accounting needs.
