Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring OCR Space, ManyChat, 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 ManyChat integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between OCR Space and ManyChat (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 ManyChat
ManyChat + OCR Space + Google Sheets: When a user sends an image through ManyChat, the text is extracted from the image using OCR Space. The extracted text, along with user information, is then added as a new row in a Google Sheet for analysis.
ManyChat + OCR Space + OpenAI ChatGPT: When a user sends an image via ManyChat, the text from the image is extracted using OCR Space. This text is then sent to OpenAI ChatGPT for summarization, and the summary is sent back to the user via ManyChat.
