Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring ConvertAPI, 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 ConvertAPI and OCR Space integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between ConvertAPI 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 ConvertAPI and OCR Space

ConvertAPI + OCR Space + Google Drive: This automation converts scanned documents (images) from a Google Drive folder to text using OCR Space and then stores the converted text into a new text file in the same Google Drive folder using ConvertAPI.

OCR Space + ConvertAPI + Airtable: This automation extracts text from images using OCR Space, converts the extracted text to PDF using ConvertAPI, and then saves the text data in a structured Airtable database.
