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

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

- 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 Freshdesk, 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 Freshdesk and OCR Space integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Freshdesk 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 Freshdesk and OCR Space
Freshdesk + OCR Space + Google Sheets: When a new ticket arrives in Freshdesk, if it contains an attachment, the attachment is sent to OCR Space to extract the text. The extracted text is then added as a new row in a Google Sheet.
Freshdesk + OCR Space + Slack: When a new ticket is created in Freshdesk, the attachments are scanned by OCR Space. If specific keywords or urgent terms are found in the extracted text, a notification containing the extracted text and the ticket ID is sent to a dedicated Slack channel.
