Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring OCR Space, FreshBooks, and any additional nodes, donโ€™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 โ€œRun onceโ€ and triggering an event to check if the OCR Space and FreshBooks integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between OCR Space and FreshBooks (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 FreshBooks

OCR Space + FreshBooks + Google Drive: When a receipt image is uploaded to a specific folder in Google Drive, OCR Space extracts the text. Then, FreshBooks creates an invoice based on the extracted data, and the original receipt image is saved back into Google Drive for record-keeping.

FreshBooks + OCR Space + Slack: When a new expense is created in FreshBooks, trigger the flow. Then, OCR Space scans the associated receipt document for information and notifies a designated Slack channel with the expense details and OCR results.
