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

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google contacts, MySQL, 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 Google contacts and MySQL integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google contacts and MySQL (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Google contacts and MySQL
Google Contacts + MySQL + Google Sheets: When a new contact is added to Google Contacts, the contact's information is inserted into a MySQL database. Then, a summary of the new contact is added to a Google Sheet for reporting purposes.
MySQL + Google Contacts + Slack: When a new row (customer record) is added to a MySQL database, the automation retrieves additional contact information from Google Contacts (if available using name or email). Finally, a notification is sent to a Slack channel with the combined customer data.
