Depending on your setup, data should flow between OCR Space and Facebook Messenger (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 Facebook Messenger
Facebook Messenger + OCR Space + OpenAI ChatGPT: When a user sends a message with an attached image to Facebook Messenger, the image is processed by OCR Space to extract the text. The extracted text is then sent to OpenAI ChatGPT, which generates a summary. Finally, the summary is sent back to the user via Facebook Messenger.
Facebook Messenger + OCR Space + Google Sheets: When an image is received in Facebook Messenger, the image is processed by OCR Space to extract the text. The image link and extracted text are then added as a new row to a Google Sheet for tracking and documentation.
