Telegram receipt photo processing automation

The n8n automation canvas for the Telegram receipt photo processing automation

An n8n automation that takes receipt photos sent through Telegram, runs them through Google Gemini Vision with a receipt-specific prompt to extract merchant, amount and date, archives the original photo to Google Drive by submission date, and logs the extraction with a direct Drive link in Google Sheets. Runs on the same self-hosted n8n instance, deployed via Docker on a VPS.

A photo in Telegram becomes a logged, linked Sheets row with no manual entry.
