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

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google docs, 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 docs and OCR Space integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google docs 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 docs and OCR Space
OCR Space + Google Sheets + Google Docs: When a new document is added to Google Docs, it triggers OCR Space to convert the image into text. Then, the extracted text is appended to a specified Google Sheet.
OCR Space + Google Docs + Slack: Converts images to text using OCR Space, stores the result in a Google Docs document, and then sends a Slack message to a designated channel to notify the team about the processed document for review.
