Effortlessly streamline your lab report translations with this n8n automation workflow. Perfect for busy medical offices and labs, this workflow ensures seamless processing from extracting data from PDFs to delivering patient-friendly translations, all while keeping you informed with crucial error notifications.

What this workflow does

• Real-time Monitoring: The workflow kicks off every minute, keeping a vigilant eye on a designated lab-report folder in Google Drive for any new PDF uploads.
• Text Extraction and Structuring: Once a new lab report is detected, it swiftly downloads and extracts raw text from the PDF. Using OpenAI’s gpt-4o-mini, it organizes complex medical data into structured patient details and clear report summaries.
