Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring OCR Space, Formstack, 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 Formstack integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between OCR Space and Formstack (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 Formstack

OCR Space + Formstack + Google Sheets: Automatically extract text from scanned forms using OCR Space when a new submission is received in Formstack, then add the extracted data as a new row in a Google Sheet for analysis.

Formstack + OCR Space + Slack: When a new form is submitted, send the file to OCR Space to extract text. Then, send a notification to a Slack channel with the extracted text.
