How to connect OCR Space and FreeAgent
Create a New Scenario to Connect OCR Space and FreeAgent
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 FreeAgent will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find OCR Space or FreeAgent, 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, FreeAgent, 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 FreeAgent integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between OCR Space and FreeAgent (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 FreeAgent
OCR Space + FreeAgent + Google Drive: When a new invoice is scanned via OCR Space, the text is extracted and used to create a new invoice in FreeAgent. The original scanned invoice is then stored in a specified Google Drive folder.
FreeAgent + OCR Space + Slack: When a new expense is recorded in FreeAgent, the attached receipt is sent to OCR Space to extract the text. Then, a message containing the extracted text and a link to the receipt is sent to a designated Slack channel for approval.
