Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the OCR Space and Google Ads integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between OCR Space and Google Ads (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 Google Ads
OCR Space + Google Ads + Google Sheets: When an image is uploaded, OCR Space extracts the text. Then, Google Ads campaign performance data is retrieved and a new row is added to Google Sheets, logging the extracted text and performance metrics.
Google Ads + OCR Space + Slack: If a Google Ad is disapproved, OCR Space scans the ad image to extract text. Then, Slack sends a message to a specified channel with the extracted text and the reason for disapproval.
