Trouble Accessing Files from Google Drive

Hello everyone,

I'm attempting to utilize an HR agent that reads a Job Description document or PDF, but I'm encountering difficulties in getting any output.

I adopted this setup from an existing workflow, and I'm wondering if the problem might be related to incorrect file naming, or perhaps something else?

I would greatly appreciate any assistance!

Screenshots are provided below!

Hi there,

The extract resume node requires a PDF from a preceding step. Here's a workflow demonstrating how to upload a PDF via a form and then process it with the extract resume node.

Does this address your needs?

Alternatively, are you looking to fetch PDFs from Google Drive?

The two nodes by themselves in your workflow won't perform any action; they need to be integrated with additional nodes.

Hi,

So if I'm understanding correctly, you're not retrieving the text within the PDF from your trigger.

Is the PDF scanned? If it's an image-based PDF, the node cannot access the content. You would need to utilize OCR/AI for extraction.

Hi there!

Here's the complete code up to that point.

My objective is to retrieve the PDF from a form submission. This part seems to be working. However, the next step involves matching this PDF submission (representing an applicant for a "Job Position") with a corresponding Job Description PDF for that specific role. Essentially, I need to compare the CV uploaded via the form with the Job Description PDF that I have stored in Google Drive in PDF/Word format.

Am I overlooking something? I suspect the issue lies in how I'm attempting to search for and retrieve the correct Job Description PDF, and then passing it to the AI Agent for comparison with the submitted Job Position PDF (which is the CV/Resume).

This is essentially an exact copy of a community node originally submitted by someone, where I'm aiming to substitute Airtable with Google Sheets.

The search method appears to be causing the error. I suggest retrieving all available PDFs from the drive and comparing them using an agent. Consider this workflow to match job applications with the PDFs stored in your drive.

It's still not returning anything.

After running the flow, could you please double-click the Google Drive step and show what it's returning? An image would be helpful. Have you configured your project in the Google Cloud Console?

It started working again once I aligned the naming conventions. For instance, matching "marketing assistant" in the job position with the "marketing assistant" name in the drive JD file. However, is there a method to match against several potential outcomes? For example, if there are job descriptions for various marketing roles, could it closely match one of them?

I observed the original code: FIND(LOWER(”[Execute node ‘Candidate Application Form’ for preview]“), LOWER({Job Title})) > 0. However, this was for Airtable. Is this functionality specific to Airtable?

This appears to be specific to Airtable. A search like that likely won't match similar terms. The workflow I developed utilizes an AI agent to determine if a job input by a user is similar to one in Google Drive. You can adjust the system message to define which PDFs are similar to the job the user submitted.

Here's the workflow:
