Video: Read Handwritten Documents with GPT
This is similar to another post where I showed how to extract data from PDFs and turn them into columns in Monday.com, but I found out that the Extract from PDF node in n8n isn't so good are reading handwritten documents. It just returns nothing instead. So I have an alternate route here to show how to upload the PDF to OpenAI and have gpt-5-mini read the document instead, which it can do with no problems. This workflow is more specific to Monday.com but you can pull out the logic for uploading and calling OpenAI's API to read the files you've uploaded, and put those nodes into whatever automation you want. The workflow JSON is attached. Let me know if you have any questions!
