Save and Activate the Scenario

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

Google Calendar + OCR Space + Google Sheets: When a new or modified event is detected in Google Calendar, the system extracts image attachments using OCR Space. The extracted text is then added as a new row in Google Sheets for data analysis.

OCR Space + Google Calendar + Slack: When a new file is added (e.g. a receipt scan), OCR Space extracts the text. This data is then used to create a new event in Google Calendar representing an expense. Finally, a message is sent to a designated Slack channel to notify the finance team.
