Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Microsoft Excel and OCR Space integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Microsoft Excel 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 Microsoft Excel and OCR Space

Google Drive + OCR Space + Microsoft Excel: When a new file is added to a specific folder in Google Drive, the automation extracts text from the file (assuming it's an image). This extracted text is then added as a new row in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.

OCR Space + Microsoft Excel + Slack: When a new image of a receipt is processed by OCR Space, the extracted text is added as a new row in a Microsoft Excel sheet. Subsequently, a notification is sent to the accounting team on Slack.
