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

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

Google Forms
Configure the Google Forms
Click on the Google Forms node to configure it. You can modify the Google Forms URL and choose between DEV and PROD versions. You can also copy it for use in further automations.
Add the OCR Space Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the Google Forms node, select OCR Space from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within OCR Space.

Set Up the Google Forms and OCR Space Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- 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.
- 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 Google Forms, 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 Forms and OCR Space integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Forms 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 Forms and OCR Space
Google Forms + OCR Space + Google Sheets: When a new form is submitted with an image receipt, OCR Space extracts the text from the image, and the extracted data is added as a new row in a Google Sheet for expense tracking.
OCR Space + Google Forms + Slack: When text is extracted from an image using OCR Space, the extracted text is submitted to a Google Form, and a Slack message is sent to a specified channel to notify someone of the submission.
