■Overview
Manually copying file information like invoices or reports saved in Google Drive into Superhuman Docs tables is tedious. This workflow automates data entry between Google Drive and Superhuman Docs: when a file is added to a specific Google Drive folder, OCR reads its content and automatically adds it as a new row to a table in Superhuman Docs.
■Who should use this template
- Anyone using Google Drive and Superhuman Docs who is managing file information or tasks manually
- Anyone who wants to prevent input errors or missed entries when transferring information from files to Superhuman Docs
- Anyone aiming to connect Google Drive and Superhuman Docs to automate and streamline file management
■Benefits of this template
- When a file is stored in Google Drive, its information is automatically added to Superhuman Docs—saving the time you used to spend on manual work.
- Eliminates manual data entry, reducing the risk of human errors like typos and missing fields.
■Workflow steps
- First, connect Google Drive and Superhuman Docs to Yoom.
- Next, in the trigger, choose Google Drive and set the action “When a new file or folder is created in a specific folder.”
- Next, add an operation with Google Drive’s “Download file” action.
- Next, add an operation with the AI feature “Extract text with OCR” to pull the required information from the downloaded file.
- Finally, add an operation with Superhuman Docs’ “Add row to table” action to insert the OCR-extracted data into the specified table.
※「trigger」：The action that starts the flow、「operation」：The actions executed in the flow after the trigger fires
■Customization points for this workflow
- In the Google Drive trigger, specify the folder you want to monitor.
- In the OCR step, choose which information in the file to extract.
- In Superhuman Docs, choose which table and columns to add the extracted data to.
■Notes
- Connect Yoom with both Google Drive and Superhuman Docs.
- You can choose trigger intervals of 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes.
- The shortest available interval depends on your plan.
- OCR may fail to read content longer than 6,500 characters or text that is very small.
- The maximum downloadable file size varies by operation and app.
- For details on file size limits for triggers and each operation, see “About file size limits”.
