This template watches a Dropbox folder for new files, creates a shared link, downloads the file with an HTTP request, reads text with OCR Space, and appends file name and text to Google Sheets. Connect Dropbox, OCR Space, and Google Sheets, then point the trigger at the folder you use for scans. Put the OCR Space API key on the OCR Space connection.
Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.
