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

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

Configure the Formsite
Click on the Formsite node to configure it. You can modify the Formsite 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 Formsite node, select OCR Space from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within OCR Space.

Set Up the Formsite 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 donβt 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 Formsite, 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 Formsite and OCR Space integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Formsite 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 Formsite and OCR Space
Formsite + OCR Space + Google Sheets: When a new form result is submitted in Formsite, the attached document is sent to OCR Space to extract the text. The extracted text is then added as a new row to a Google Sheet for analysis.
Formsite + OCR Space + Airtable: When a new form is submitted in Formsite, any included documents are processed by OCR Space to extract the text. The extracted text is then saved as a new record in Airtable.
