How to connect QuickBooks and OCR Space
Create a New Scenario to Connect QuickBooks and OCR Space
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 QuickBooks, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, QuickBooks or OCR Space will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find QuickBooks or OCR Space, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring QuickBooks, OCR Space, 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 QuickBooks and OCR Space integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between QuickBooks 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 QuickBooks and OCR Space
OCR Space + Google Drive + QuickBooks: When a new file is added to a specific Google Drive folder, it triggers OCR Space to extract the invoice data. The extracted data is then used to create a new invoice in QuickBooks, automatically linking it to the correct vendor.
OCR Space + QuickBooks + Slack: Extract data from receipts using OCR Space, create corresponding expense entries in QuickBooks, and send a notification to the accounting team in Slack, ensuring prompt expense tracking and reconciliation.
