How to connect Database and Youform
Create a New Scenario to Connect Database and Youform
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 Youform will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Database or Youform, 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.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Database, Youform, 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 Youform integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Database and Youform (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 Youform
Youform + Database + Slack: When a new form submission is received in Youform, the submission data is used to create a new object in the Database. A notification is then sent to a Slack channel to alert the team of the new submission.
Youform + Database + Google Sheets: Upon receiving a new submission in Youform, the data is used to create a new object in the Database. Simultaneously, a new row is added to a specified Google Sheet, providing a comprehensive log of all submissions.
