Hello! I’ve been pondering how to create an automation to process my invoices using OCR. The invoices could be physical receipts that I’ll photograph with my mobile phone, send them to a Telegram chat, and this will trigger an automation that should process the data from the photo, create a JSON (date, amount, concept…), and record the data in a Google Sheet. The problem I’m encountering is in extracting data from the image using OpenAI’s API. The response I’m getting says it can’t help me with that when I send the photo (vision module). Has anyone tried something similar or know how I can do it? Thank you in advance. ---
