Tools that fit

Services

LINE Messaging API : Receive invoice photos and send confirmations

Google Sheets : Store extracted invoice data as rows

api

OCR.space : Extract raw text from invoice images

LLM

Google Gemini Chat Model : Parse key fields like date and total

Watch out for

OCR results often contain typos in dates so add a validation step or let Gemini correct common patterns before parsing.
LINE media URLs expire quickly after download so fetch and process the image immediately within the same request flow.
Gemini may return malformed JSON if the invoice is too blurry so implement a retry loop with error handling for invalid responses.
OCR.space free tiers have strict rate limits so add queuing or caching to prevent workflow failures during high volume.
