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

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


ConvertAPI

Configure the ConvertAPI
Click on the ConvertAPI node to configure it. You can modify the ConvertAPI URL and choose between DEV and PROD versions. You can also copy it for use in further automations.
Add the Microsoft SQL Server Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the ConvertAPI node, select Microsoft SQL Server from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within Microsoft SQL Server.

Authenticate Microsoft SQL Server
Now, click the Microsoft SQL Server node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Microsoft SQL Server settings. Authentication allows you to use Microsoft SQL Server through Latenode.
Configure the ConvertAPI and Microsoft SQL Server Nodes
Next, configure the nodes by filling in the required parameters according to your logic. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Set Up the ConvertAPI and Microsoft SQL Server 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 ConvertAPI, Microsoft SQL Server, 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 ConvertAPI and Microsoft SQL Server integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between ConvertAPI and Microsoft SQL Server (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect ConvertAPI and Microsoft SQL Server
ConvertAPI + Microsoft SQL Server + Google Sheets: Automatically log converted document details (filename and conversion time) from ConvertAPI into a Microsoft SQL Server database. Also, track the number of conversions monthly by inserting data into a Google Sheets spreadsheet.
Microsoft SQL Server + ConvertAPI + Slack: When a new or updated legal document is added to Microsoft SQL Server, convert it to PDF using ConvertAPI and notify the legal team via a Slack channel with a link to the converted file.
