Document intake
An automated intake workflow designed to collect uploaded document images, organize them in cloud storage, and maintain a structured submission record.
Service businesses may receive photos of forms, identification documents, records, receipts, or supporting files through messaging platforms.
I built a Telegram-based portfolio prototype that downloads the uploaded file, stores it in Google Drive, records the submission in Google Sheets, and sends a confirmation reply.
Telegram may provide multiple sizes of the same uploaded photo. The workflow retrieves the needed file ID from the photo array, downloads the selected file, uploads it to Google Drive, logs the submission, and replies to the user.
The current prototype processes Telegram image uploads. A production version could add PDFs, standardized filenames, duplicate checks, access permissions, and retention rules.
The strongest learning was handling file metadata carefully so the uploaded document can be stored and traced without staying buried inside a chat thread.
I can help map the repetitive steps and identify where practical automation could make the process easier.
