How to connect OCR Space and Google Cloud Firestore
Create a New Scenario to Connect OCR Space and Google Cloud Firestore
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 Google Cloud Firestore will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find OCR Space or Google Cloud Firestore, 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, Google Cloud Firestore, 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 Google Cloud Firestore integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between OCR Space and Google Cloud Firestore (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
