Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring NocoDB, 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 NocoDB and OCR Space integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between NocoDB and OCR Space (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
NocoDB + OCR Space + Slack: When a new record is added to NocoDB (specifically, an invoice), the attached image is sent to OCR Space to extract the text. Then, a summary of the extracted text is sent to a designated Slack channel.
OCR Space + NocoDB + Airtable: When an image is processed by OCR Space to extract text, this data is used to update a corresponding record in NocoDB. The details of this update are then logged as a new record in Airtable.
