How to connect Facebook and OCR Space
Create a New Scenario to Connect Facebook and OCR Space
In the workspace, click the βCreate New Scenarioβ button.

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

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

Configure the Facebook
Click on the Facebook node to configure it. You can modify the Facebook URL and choose between DEV and PROD versions. You can also copy it for use in further automations.
Add the OCR Space Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the Facebook node, select OCR Space from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within OCR Space.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Facebook, OCR Space, and any additional nodes, donβt 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 βRun onceβ and triggering an event to check if the Facebook and OCR Space integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Facebook 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 and OCR Space
Facebook + OCR Space + Google Sheets: This automation monitors a specified Facebook page for new posts containing images. When a new image is detected, it's sent to OCR Space to extract the text. The extracted text is then added as a new row in a Google Sheet for analysis and record-keeping.
Facebook + OCR Space + Email: This automation is triggered when a new email arrives. The automation looks for images attached to the email or image URLs inside the email body, then sends the image to OCR Space to extract the text. Finally, the extracted text is sent via email to a specified recipient.
