What This Workflow Does

When a user sends a receipt photo or PDF via WhatsApp, the automation:

1. Receives the file through Twilio WhatsApp 2. Uploads and parses it with LlamaParse (high-res OCR + invoice preset) 3. Extracts structured data using Claude + Gemini + a strict JSON parser 4. Cleans and normalizes the data (dates, ABN, vendor, tax logic) 5. Uploads the receipt to Google Drive 6. Logs the extracted fields into a Google Sheet 7. Replies to the user on WhatsApp with the extracted details 8. Asks for confirmation via quick-reply buttons 9. Updates the Google Sheet based on user validation

The result is a fast, scalable, human-free system for converting raw receipt photos into clean, structured accounting data.
