How to connect PDFMonkey and OCR Space
Create a New Scenario to Connect PDFMonkey and OCR Space
In the workspace, click the βCreate New Scenarioβ button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node β a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a PDFMonkey, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, PDFMonkey or OCR Space will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find PDFMonkey or OCR Space, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the PDFMonkey Node
Select the PDFMonkey node from the app selection panel on the right.

Set Up the PDFMonkey and OCR Space Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that donβt require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring PDFMonkey, OCR Space, and any additional nodes, donβt 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 βRun onceβ and triggering an event to check if the PDFMonkey and OCR Space integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between PDFMonkey and OCR Space (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect PDFMonkey and OCR Space
PDFMonkey + OCR Space + Google Drive: When a document is generated in PDFMonkey, it triggers OCR Space to convert the document into a text-searchable PDF. The resulting PDF is then saved to a specified folder in Google Drive.
OCR Space + Airtable + PDFMonkey: When a new record is created in Airtable, use OCR Space to extract data from scanned documents. Then, use PDFMonkey to generate a report based on the extracted data and store it in Airtable.
