■Overview
Do you scan paper documents into PDFs and then find text extraction cumbersome? Manually copying content into documents is time-consuming and error-prone. With this workflow, files such as scanned PDFs sent to Discord are automatically read with OCR, their text extracted, and then converted into a new Google Doc and saved—streamlining file conversion end to end.
■Who should use this template
- People who routinely convert the contents of scanned PDFs or image files into text
- Teams that use Discord as an information hub and want to streamline file conversion
- Anyone aiming to eliminate manual data-entry errors and create accurate documents
■Benefits
- As soon as a file is posted to Discord, it’s automatically converted to text and a document is created—cutting the time spent on manual transcription.
- Eliminating manual transcription prevents typos and copy–paste misses, improving information accuracy.
■Workflow flow
- First, connect Discord, Google Drive, and Google Docs with Yoom.
- Next, select Discord as the trigger and set the action “When a message is posted in a channel.”
- Next, add a branching operation so that only messages with attached files proceed to subsequent steps.
- Next, add the Discord operation “Download files in the message.”
- Next, add the OCR operation “Read any image or PDF” to extract text from the downloaded file.
- Next, add the Google Docs operation “Create a new document.”
- Next, add the Google Drive operation “Change the file’s destination folder.”
- Finally, add the Google Docs operation “Append text to the end of the document” and append the OCR-extracted text.
Note: “trigger”: the action that starts the flow; “operation”: an action performed within the flow after the trigger fires
■Customization tips for this workflow
- In the Discord trigger, specify the server ID and channel ID to monitor.
- In the branch, freely customize the conditions that start subsequent operations based on data from the trigger, such as file type or message content.
- In OCR, specify which fields to extract from the target file.
- In the Google Docs create action, set the document title using fixed text and/or data fetched in previous steps (e.g., file name).
- In the Google Docs append action, combine OCR output with any fixed text or other information as needed.
■Notes
- Connect Yoom with Discord, Google Drive, and Google Docs.
- You can choose trigger intervals of 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes.
- The minimum interval varies by plan.
- Branching is an operation available on the Personal plan and above. On the Free plan, any Workflow operation that uses branching will result in an error.
- Paid plans such as the Personal plan include a 2-week free trial. During the trial, you can use restricted apps and features (operations). For details, see the Pricing plans page.
- The maximum downloadable file size varies by operation and app.
- For details on file size limits for triggers and operations, see About file size limits.
- OCR may fail to read text longer than 6,500 characters or text that is too small.
