🧩 Summary Easily digitize and organize your business cards! This workflow allows you to upload a business card image , automatically extract contact information using Google Gemini’s OCR & vision model , and save the structured data into a Notion database — no manual typing required. Perfect for teams or individuals who want to centralize client contact info in Notion after networking events or meetings. ⚙️ How it works Form Submission Upload a business card image ( .jpg , .png , or .jpeg ) through an n8n form. Optionally select a category (e.g., Partner, Client, Vendor). AI-Powered OCR (Google Gemini) The uploaded image is sent to Google Gemini Vision for intelligent text recognition and entity extraction. Gemini returns structured text data such as: {
"Name": "Jung Hyun Park",
"Position": "Head of Development",
"Phone": "021231234",
"Mobile": "0101231234",
"Email": " [email protected] ",
"Company": "TOV",
"Address": "6F, Donga Building, 212, Yeoksam-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul",
"Website": "www.tov.com"
} JSON Parsing & Cleanup The text response from Gemini is cleaned and parsed into a valid JSON object using a Code node. Save to Notion The parsed data is automatically inserted into your Notion database ( Customer Business Cards ). Fields such as Name, Email, Phone, Address, and Company are mapped to Notion properties. 🧠Used Nodes Form Trigger – Captures uploaded business card and category input Google Gemini (Vision) – Extracts contact details from the image Code – Parses Gemini’s output into structured JSON Notion – Saves extracted contact info to your Notion database 📦 Integrations Service Purpose Node Type Google Gemini (PaLM) Image-to-text extraction (OCR + structured entity parsing) @n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain.googleGemini Notion Contact data storage n8n-nodes-base.notion 🧰 Requirements A connected Google Gemini (PaLM) API credential A Notion integration with edit access to your database 🚀 Example Use Cases Digitize stacks of collected business cards after a conference Auto-save new partner contacts to your CRM database in Notion Build a searchable Notion-based contact directory Combine with Notion filters or rollups to manage client relationships 💡 Tips You can easily extend this workflow by adding an email notification node to confirm successful uploads.
