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.
