How to connect Motion and OCR Space
Create a New Scenario to Connect Motion and OCR Space
In the workspace, click the βCreate New Scenarioβ button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node β a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Motion, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Motion or OCR Space will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Motion or OCR Space, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

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

Authenticate OCR Space
Now, click the OCR Space node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your OCR Space settings. Authentication allows you to use OCR Space through Latenode.
Configure the Motion and OCR Space Nodes
Next, configure the nodes by filling in the required parameters according to your logic. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Set Up the Motion 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 donβt 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 Motion, OCR Space, and any additional nodes, donβt 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 βRun onceβ and triggering an event to check if the Motion and OCR Space integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Motion 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 Motion and OCR Space
Motion + OCR Space + Google Sheets: When motion is detected, the image is processed by OCR Space to extract text. This extracted text is then added as a new row in a Google Sheet for analysis and record-keeping.
Motion + OCR Space + Slack: Upon motion detection, an image is captured and sent to OCR Space for text extraction. The extracted text is then sent as a message to a specified Slack channel to notify users of the event and the extracted information.
