Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring Help Scout, OCR Space, and any additional nodes, donโ€™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 โ€œRun onceโ€ and triggering an event to check if the Help Scout and OCR Space integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Help Scout 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 Help Scout and OCR Space

Help Scout + OCR Space + Google Sheets: When a new conversation is started in Help Scout, if it contains an image attachment, OCR Space extracts the text from the image. This extracted text is then added as a new row in a Google Sheet for analysis.

OCR Space + Help Scout + Slack: When OCR Space converts an image to text, it triggers the creation of a new customer support ticket in Help Scout. A notification with key information from the extracted text is then sent to a designated Slack channel to alert the support team.
