Capture shipping label text without retyping
Add a label photo to a Notion page and use OCR.space to read its printed details for a quick human check.
Trigger
New Page
Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.
Action
OCR Parse Image
Tool to submit image or pdf to ocr.space for ocr processing.
Why this helps
Copying addresses from photos is fiddly and creates avoidable errors when shipping tasks are competing for attention.
- Reduce address retyping.
- Make label details easier to check before preparing a shipment.
- Keep the photo beside its shipping record.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and OCR.space to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation by asking Notis or using the portal to read new shipping label photos.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction to OCR label images on relevant new pages and make the text available for a person to verify.
- 4Pick Notion New Page and choose a run-report channel.
- 5Test with one label photo and verify the address character by character.
Questions about this workflow
Can I ship using the extracted address without checking?
Verify every address against the original image before using it for a shipment.
Does this handle label PDFs?
OCR.space can parse image or PDF input when the file is available to the action.
What should the photo look like?
Use a clear, well-lit image with the full label visible to improve recognition.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to Ocrspace. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
Ocrspace actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
OCR Parse Image
Tool to submit image or pdf to ocr.space for ocr processing.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Comment Created
Triggers when a new comment is created in Notion. Optional `page_id` filter scopes to comments on a specific page. When omitted, fires for any new comment in the workspace the integration has access to. Requires the 'Read comments' capability on the Notion integration. If a connection was authorized before that capability was enabled, the user must re-authorize the connection for comment events to flow.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Database Created
Triggers when a new Notion database (the container) is created. A database is the post-2025-09-03 container that holds one or more data sources. This trigger fires for the container's creation event (`database.created`), distinct from `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` which fires when a new data source is added to an existing database. Most customers calling Notion's `POST /v1/databases` (the legacy API) or creating a database via the Notion UI will see this event. Adding a new data source to an existing database fires `data_source.created` instead — use `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` for that. Notion's payload puts `entity.type: "block"` (the container is a `child_database` block in the content tree) and `entity.id` is the database id.
Data Source Created
Triggers when a new Notion data source is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload's `data.parent` carries the data source's tree parent (typically the teamspace) for downstream filtering. A single template-based database creation can fire multiple `data_source.created` events at once — one per data source the template instantiates.
Data Source Schema Updated
Triggers when a Notion data source's schema is updated. Fires on column add / remove / rename. Payload includes `data.updated_properties: [{id, name, action}]` so consumers can discriminate the kind of change downstream. Optional `data_source_id` filter scopes to schema changes on a single data source. When omitted, fires for any schema change in the workspace the integration has access to. Note: adding a column also fires `page.properties_updated` once per existing row in the data source. Customers wanting a single structural-change signal should use this trigger.
