Depending on your setup, data should flow between Facebook Messenger 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 Facebook Messenger and OCR Space
Facebook Messenger + OCR Space + Google Sheets: When a new message containing an attachment is received in Facebook Messenger, the attached image is sent to OCR Space to extract the text. The extracted text, along with sender information, is then added as a new row in a Google Sheet for record-keeping.
OCR Space + Facebook Messenger + Twilio: When an image is processed by OCR Space, the extracted text is checked for a specific phrase. If the phrase is detected, a message is sent via Twilio to a predefined phone number.
