DocSorter: AI Document Classifier & Auto-Router

DocSorter: AI Document Classifier & Auto-Router ships as a ready-to-import n8n automation package: load the bundled workflow JSON, connect the credentials listed on this page, and activate it on self-hosted n8n or n8n Cloud.

Stop dragging invoices, contracts, and receipts into folders by hand — AI reads every new file in your Drive inbox, renames it, files it in the right folder, and flags anything it isn't sure about.

Classify every new inbox document as an invoice, contract, receipt, or other in seconds
Auto-file confidently-classified documents into the matching Drive folder with a clean, consistent name
Extract the vendor or client each document belongs to for faster lookup later
Escalate low-confidence documents to Slack instead of risking a misfiled record
Log every routing decision to a Google Sheet for a complete audit trail
Never re-process the same file twice, even across hundreds of polling runs
End the recurring monthly chore of manually sorting mixed documents before handoff to your accountant

FAQ

About this template

How long does it take to set up DocSorter: AI Document Classifier & Auto-Router?

Most people finish in minutes following the guide. If you’ve never used n8n before, budget an hour — the first workflow is always the slowest.

What if I get stuck?

Email support@n8ntemplatestore.com. Free basic support is included with every purchase, and you’ll get a reply from our team within 24 hours. If setup needs more than email, we can schedule a call.

Do I need to pay for Google Drive?

API costs are separate and go directly to the provider — typically a few dollars a month at most for a solo business. Full breakdown is in the setup guide.

Can I customize the workflow?

Yes, completely. You own the .json — edit nodes, swap in your own prompts, re-wire the logic. Our support team can help you plan customizations over email.

What if it doesn’t work for me?

Refunds are issued only as described in our Refund Policy (https://n8ntemplatestore.com/refund-policy). Or add Setup Service at checkout for a live install and test session — pick any tier you prefer.
