How to connect Alegra and OCR Space
Create a New Scenario to Connect Alegra and OCR Space
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Alegra, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Alegra or OCR Space will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Alegra or OCR Space, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Alegra Node
Select the Alegra node from the app selection panel on the right.

Set Up the Alegra and OCR Space Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Alegra, OCR Space, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Alegra and OCR Space integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Alegra and OCR Space (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Alegra and OCR Space
Alegra + OCR Space + Google Drive: When a new event occurs in Alegra, it triggers OCR Space to convert an image into text or PDF. The resulting file is then uploaded to Google Drive.
Alegra + OCR Space + Slack: When a new event occurs in Alegra, it triggers OCR Space to convert an image to text or PDF. Then, a Slack notification is sent to a channel with information about the processed receipt.
