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

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

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

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 don’t 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 Database, Clio, 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 Database and Clio integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Database and Clio (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Database and Clio
Clio + Database + Slack: When a new contact is created in Clio, it triggers the creation of a corresponding object in the database. A notification is then sent to a designated Slack channel to inform the team about the new client.
Clio + Database + Google Sheets: When a contact is updated in Clio, the corresponding object in the database is updated to reflect the changes. The updated information is also added as a new row to a Google Sheet for tracking and analysis.
