Iโ€™d like to use the Airtable app as my primary document Scanner.

I love using Airtable to track expenses. And, f course, it is nice to include an image of the related receipt or invoice.
Airtableโ€™s iOS app allows users to snap pictures using your phoneโ€™s camera, however, it would be great if I could use the app to create a โ€œscanned documentโ€. Apps like Evernote and DropBox do this well so I typically use those apps to scan my documents but it would be nice to skip this step.

Thanks Airtable!

Hey there, Hannes from the miniExtensions team here.

We have a range of automation workflows that could help with this. For example, you could simply snap a picture and upload it to Airtable using their app, and then have our automations turn that into a PDF (we actually have a couple of automations that can do this in different ways, e.g. HTML to PDF or URL to PDF). You could also run character recognition on images using our GPT assistants-powered automation! There's a lot of functionality to discover and our support team would be happy to give you a hand if you have any questions!
