How to connect OCR Space and SOS Inventory
Create a New Scenario to Connect OCR Space and SOS Inventory
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 SOS Inventory will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find OCR Space or SOS Inventory, 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, SOS Inventory, 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 SOS Inventory integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between OCR Space and SOS Inventory (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 SOS Inventory
OCR Space + SOS Inventory + Airtable: When a new image is uploaded to OCR Space, the text is extracted and product details are identified. SOS Inventory updates its stock levels based on the extracted data, and a record of the transaction is created in Airtable for auditing.
SOS Inventory + OCR Space + Slack: When SOS Inventory detects low stock based on a trigger event, the system scans supplier invoices with OCR Space to verify the quantities that are ordered and expected delivery dates. Once processed, a notification is sent to the purchasing team via Slack with details of the stock situation and supplier invoice information.
