Most powerful ways to connect FreshBooks and OCR Space

Google Drive + OCR Space + FreshBooks: When a new file is added to a specific Google Drive folder, OCR Space extracts the text from the image (assuming it's a receipt or invoice). This extracted data is then used to create a new expense in FreshBooks.

Google Drive + OCR Space + Slack: When a new file is added to Google Drive, OCR Space converts the image to text. A Slack message is sent to notify the accounting team about the new scanned receipt.
