Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring OCR Space, Tools, 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 Tools integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between OCR Space and Tools (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 Tools

OCR Space + Google Sheets + Tools: Automatically extract data from scanned invoices using OCR Space. Then add the extracted data as a new row in Google Sheets. Finally, store the OCR results in the Tools Key-Value storage.

Tools + OCR Space + Airtable: Resize images (simulated with Tools Key-Value storage), use OCR Space to extract data from the resized images, and then create a new record in Airtable with the extracted data.
