Convert PDF to base64 and send to Claude Vision\n4. Claude extracts invoice fields (vendor, invoice number, date, line items, subtotal, tax, total, currency)\n5. Duplicate check against the Google Sheet\n6. If new, append a row to the accounting sheet\n7. If duplicate, log a row in the Duplicates sheet\n\n**Setup:**\n- Connect Google Drive OAuth credential (scope to the watched folder, not whole Drive)\n- Connect Google Sheets OAuth credential\n- Connect Anthropic API key\n- Set the watched folder ID in the Google Drive trigger\n- Set the spreadsheet ID in the three Google Sheets nodes\n- Make sure your sheet has a tab called Invoices and a tab called Duplicates with matching column headers (see docs/SETUP.md)\n\n**Note:** Claude reads the PDF as base64. Machine-generated PDFs extract close to perfectly. Scanned invoices land around 85% accuracy. Always review before paying.",
