AwsRekognition Automate

Target Audience

- Marketing Teams: To analyze images and extract text for campaigns.

Problem Solved

This workflow automates the process of retrieving an image, detecting text within that image using AWS Rekognition, and appending the results to Google Sheets. It eliminates the need for manual data entry and speeds up the workflow, allowing users to focus on more strategic tasks.

Workflow Steps

1. Manual Trigger: The workflow starts when manually triggered by the user.
2. Image Retrieval: An HTTP request is made to fetch an image from a specified URL.
3. Text Detection: The retrieved image is processed by AWS Rekognition to detect any text present in it.
4. Data Preparation: The detected text, along with image metadata, is formatted and set for further processing.
5. Text Transformation: A function is applied to convert the detected text to lowercase for consistency.
6. Data Storage: Finally, the processed data is appended to a specified Google Sheets document for easy access and analysis.

Customization Guide

- Change Image Source: Modify the URL in the HTTP Request node to point to a different image.
- Adjust Text Detection: In the AWS Rekognition node, you can change the parameters for different types of text detection (e.g., labels, faces).
- Update Google Sheets: Change the sheetId in the Google Sheets node to append data to a different sheet.
- Modify Text Processing: Edit the Function1 node to implement different text manipulation or formatting as needed.
