Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring Freshdesk, 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 β€œRun once” 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.
