Watch out for

OCR accuracy drops significantly on low-resolution scans, so implement a pre-processing step to enhance image clarity.
API rate limits may throttle processing during batch uploads, add logic to queue requests with exponential backoff delays.
PII data exposure risks exist when sending documents via email, ensure end-to-end encryption or mask sensitive fields in the output.
n8n workflow execution timeouts can occur with large files, split the document into smaller chunks before OCR processing.
