Save and Activate the Scenario

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

Formstack + OCR Space + Google Sheets: When a new form submission is received in Formstack, extract text from any attached images using OCR Space. Then, add the form data and extracted text as a new row in Google Sheets.

OCR Space + Formstack + Airtable: When an image is converted to text using OCR Space, the extracted text is used to update a specific form submission in Formstack. Finally, the updated form submission data is saved to a new record in Airtable.
