Telegram Image Collection and Intelligent Recognition Data Ingestion Workflow
This workflow automatically receives images sent by users via a Telegram bot and uploads them to AWS S3 storage. Subsequently, it utilizes AWS Textract for intelligent text recognition, and the extracted text data is automatically written into an Airtable spreadsheet. The entire process achieves full-link automation from image reception and storage to recognition and data entry, effectively reducing manual operations and errors, while improving the speed and accuracy of data processing. It is suitable for various scenarios that require quick extraction and management of text from images.
Workflow Name
Telegram Image Collection and Intelligent Recognition Data Ingestion Workflow
Key Features and Highlights
This workflow enables automatic reception of image files sent by users via a Telegram bot, followed by uploading the images to AWS S3 storage. It then leverages AWS Textract to perform text recognition on the images, and finally, the extracted text data is automatically written into an Airtable base. The entire process is highly automated and efficient, significantly enhancing the collection and management of textual data from images.
Core Problems Addressed
Traditional image text recognition workflows often require manual downloading of images, uploading them to recognition tools, and manually organizing the results. This workflow automates the entire pipeline—from image reception and storage to text recognition and data ingestion—eliminating repetitive tasks and human errors, thereby improving data processing speed and accuracy.
Application Scenarios
- Customers sending invoices, receipts, and other images via Telegram for automatic recognition and archiving of financial data
- On-site collection of image materials automatically converted into structured text for subsequent analysis
- Operations teams quickly gathering user-uploaded document images and organizing them into spreadsheets
- Any business scenarios requiring rapid extraction and centralized management of text from images
Main Process Steps
- Telegram Trigger node listens to messages from the Telegram bot and automatically receives images sent by users
- Upload the received images to a designated AWS S3 bucket for secure cloud storage
- Invoke AWS Textract service to perform text recognition on the uploaded images
- Append the recognized text data into the specified “receipts” table in Airtable for structured data management
