Overview
This node provides an AI-powered invoice parsing operation. It takes a URL pointing to an invoice PDF and processes it to extract structured data from the invoice. This is useful for automating data entry tasks, such as extracting billing details, amounts, dates, and vendor information from invoices without manual intervention.
A practical example would be automatically processing incoming invoices stored on a web server or cloud storage by providing their URLs, then using the parsed data to update accounting systems or trigger payment workflows.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Url | The URL of the invoice PDF file that you want to parse. |
| Advanced Options | Additional optional settings: |
| - Webhook URL | A callback URL or webhook endpoint where the parsed output data will be sent asynchronously. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the parsed invoice details extracted from the provided PDF URL. This typically includes fields like invoice number, date, vendor name, line items, totals, and other relevant invoice metadata.
If a webhook URL is provided in advanced options, the node may send the parsed data to that URL instead of or in addition to returning it directly.
No binary data output is indicated in the source code.
Dependencies
- Requires access to the internet to fetch the invoice PDF from the specified URL.
- Uses an internal router module to handle the parsing logic.
- May require configuration of a webhook endpoint if asynchronous callbacks are used.
- Likely depends on an API key or authentication token configured in n8n credentials (not explicitly shown in the source).
Troubleshooting
- Invalid URL or inaccessible PDF: Ensure the URL is correct and publicly accessible or accessible with proper authentication.
- Parsing errors: If the invoice format is unusual or corrupted, the parser might fail or return incomplete data.
- Webhook failures: If a webhook URL is provided but unreachable or returns errors, the callback will fail. Verify the webhook endpoint is correctly set up and reachable.
- Missing required properties: The "Url" property is mandatory; omitting it will cause the node to error out.
