How to connect Harvest and Database
Create a New Scenario to Connect Harvest and Database
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step

Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Harvest, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Harvest or Database will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Harvest or Database, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

- 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.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Harvest, Database, 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 Harvest and Database integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Harvest and Database (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Harvest and Database
Harvest + Database + Slack: When a new time entry is created in Harvest, the details are saved to a database. A daily summary of these time entries is then sent to a designated Slack channel.
Database + Harvest + Google Sheets: Project budgets are tracked in a database. This data is compared against time entries from Harvest. The resulting analysis is then visualized in a Google Sheet.
