How to connect OCR Space and QuickBooks
Create a New Scenario to Connect OCR Space and QuickBooks
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 QuickBooks will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find OCR Space or QuickBooks, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring OCR Space, QuickBooks, 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 QuickBooks integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between OCR Space and QuickBooks (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 QuickBooks
OCR Space + QuickBooks + Google Drive: When a new document is added to a specific Google Drive folder, use OCR Space to convert the image into text. Then, create a new invoice in QuickBooks with the extracted data. Finally, archive the original document and the extracted text in a separate Google Drive folder.
QuickBooks + OCR Space + Slack: When a new bill is created in QuickBooks, download the associated scanned invoice from Google Drive (assuming the bill contains the Google Drive file ID). Use OCR Space to extract data from the scanned invoice and send a notification to the accounting team in Slack with the extracted data and a link to the bill.
