Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring SmartSuite, 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 β€œRun once” and triggering an event to check if the SmartSuite and OCR Space integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between SmartSuite 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 SmartSuite and OCR Space

OCR Space + SmartSuite + Google Sheets: When a new image is received, OCR Space extracts the text. This data is then used to create a new record in SmartSuite, and the total amount is logged into a Google Sheet.

OCR Space + SmartSuite + Slack: When a business card image is processed by OCR Space to extract text, a new record is created in SmartSuite. A welcome message is then sent to the new contact via Slack.
