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

Database
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 ConvertAPI Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the Database node, select ConvertAPI from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within ConvertAPI.

Authenticate ConvertAPI
Now, click the ConvertAPI node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your ConvertAPI settings. Authentication allows you to use ConvertAPI through Latenode.
Configure the Database and ConvertAPI 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 Database and ConvertAPI 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 Database, ConvertAPI, 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 Database and ConvertAPI integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Database and ConvertAPI (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 ConvertAPI
Database + ConvertAPI + Google Drive: When a new record is created in the database, it's converted into a PDF using ConvertAPI and then uploaded to a specified folder in Google Drive for archiving and easy sharing.
ConvertAPI + Database + Slack: When a document is successfully converted using ConvertAPI, the database is updated to reflect the conversion status, and a notification is sent to a designated Slack channel to inform the team.
