Step 1: Extract Text from an Invoice (OCR)

Select OCR > Read Invoice as an action.

Attach the invoice file.

Specify the fields you want to extract (e.g., product name, amount).

Run a test to verify the extracted data.

🔹 Tip:

The extracted values (e.g., product names) are stored as comma-separated lists.

Step 2: Configure Loop Actions

Add "Loop Command".

Set up the necessary actions inside the loop.

Set the loop target as the extracted product name.

Step 3: Add Data to Google Sheets

Choose Google Sheets > Set "Add a Record" as the action.

Select the spreadsheet & range (e.g., A1:G).

Map the extracted values to the corresponding columns.

The extracted invoice details are automatically added to Google Sheets.
