How to connect Fillout and OCR Space
Create a New Scenario to Connect Fillout 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 Fillout, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Fillout or OCR Space will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Fillout or OCR Space, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.
Add the Fillout Node
Select the Fillout node from the app selection panel on the right.

- 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 Fillout, 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 Fillout and OCR Space integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Fillout 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 Fillout and OCR Space
Fillout + OCR Space + Google Sheets: When a new submission is received in Fillout, the attached documents are sent to OCR Space to extract text. The extracted text, along with submission data, is then added as a new row in Google Sheets.
Fillout + OCR Space + Airtable: Automatically process invoices and receipts received as images from Fillout. Use OCR Space to extract text, then update an Airtable financial database with relevant information from the document.
