How to connect Google Chat and OCR Space
Create a New Scenario to Connect Google Chat and OCR Space
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Google Chat, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Google Chat or OCR Space will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Google Chat or OCR Space, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Google Chat Node
Select the Google Chat 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 don’t 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.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google Chat, 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 Chat and OCR Space integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Chat 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 Chat and OCR Space
Google Chat + OCR Space + Google Drive: When a new message with an attachment is posted to Google Chat, the attached image is sent to OCR Space to extract the text. The extracted text is then saved as a new text file in Google Drive.
OCR Space + Google Chat + Slack: When an image is converted to text by OCR Space (hypothetically by another flow), send the extracted text to a specified Google Chat channel and a Slack channel. This requires an external trigger for OCR Space, which is not directly available; however, one could use a webhook that triggers after conversion.
