How to connect OCR Space and Basin
Create a New Scenario to Connect OCR Space and Basin
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

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

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

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring OCR Space, Basin, 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 OCR Space and Basin integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between OCR Space and Basin (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect OCR Space and Basin
Basin + OCR Space + Google Sheets: When a new form is submitted to Basin with a document, OCR Space extracts the text from the document. The extracted text is then added as a new row in a Google Sheet for accounting purposes.
Basin + OCR Space + Slack: When a new document is uploaded to Basin via form submission, OCR Space extracts the text from the document. A summary of the extracted text is then sent to a specified Slack channel.
