How to connect OCR Space and Firecrawl
Create a New Scenario to Connect OCR Space and Firecrawl
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 Firecrawl will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find OCR Space or Firecrawl, 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.

Configure the OCR Space
Click on the OCR Space node to configure it. You can modify the OCR Space URL and choose between DEV and PROD versions. You can also copy it for use in further automations.
Add the Firecrawl Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the OCR Space node, select Firecrawl from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within Firecrawl.

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 OCR Space and Firecrawl 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 don’t 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 OCR Space, Firecrawl, 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 Firecrawl integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between OCR Space and Firecrawl (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 Firecrawl
Firecrawl + OCR Space + Google Sheets: This automation scrapes a website using Firecrawl, extracts text from images found on the crawled pages using OCR Space, and then saves the extracted text into a Google Sheet.
Firecrawl + OCR Space + Slack: The automation monitors a competitor's website using Firecrawl, extracts text from newly identified images using OCR Space, and then sends a notification to a Slack channel about these content updates.
