Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Microsoft To Do, 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 Microsoft To Do and OCR Space integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Microsoft To Do 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 To Do and OCR Space
Microsoft Outlook + OCR Space + Microsoft To Do: When a new email arrives with an attachment, the attachment (assumed to be an invoice) is downloaded, the text is extracted using OCR Space, and a new task is created in Microsoft To Do to process the invoice.
OCR Space + Microsoft To Do + Slack: When a new file is detected (presumably a receipt or invoice), OCR Space extracts the text. This text, along with the file, is used to create a new task in Microsoft To Do and a message is sent to a designated Slack channel to notify the finance team.
