Comment on Self-Hosted Document & Budgeting Automation: Paperless-ngx, Firefly III, and n8n – Good Idea?
MIXEDUNIVERS@discuss.tchncs.de 2 days agoWell that is something i also have read online. Thats the reason why i think of using n8n
- upload picture from some app (maybe something like telegram chat or email)
- workflow in n8n mistreal ocr and an ki tool to sort the infos in an upload ready format for firefly III
- and dann some api magic to paperless so that the same picture is stored in the right folder. and is archived.
Thats the workflow which should be feasible. i think i have brainstormed with ki (say what you want) and i think thats the plan i try to implement first.

You can try ofc, but OCR isn’t perfect. Sometimes mistakes an 8 for a 6 or the like. Just keep that in mind, depending on what’s your goal.
