Designed especially for LINE users (Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, etc.) who want to eliminate manual data entry after networking events or client meetings. What this workflow does When a user sends a business card photo to a LINE bot, Gemini AI automatically extracts contact information (name, company, job title, phone number, email, postal address) and saves it to Google Sheets. Duplicate entries are detected by email address and skipped automatically. The team receives a Slack notification for every new contact, and the user gets an instant LINE confirmation.
