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

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

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

Authenticate MySQL
Now, click the MySQL node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your MySQL settings. Authentication allows you to use MySQL through Latenode.
Configure the Kintone and MySQL 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 Kintone and MySQL 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 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 Kintone, 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 Kintone and MySQL integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Kintone 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 Kintone and MySQL
Kintone + MySQL + Slack: When a new record is added to Kintone, the data is inserted as a new row in a MySQL database. A summary of the new record is then sent to a designated Slack channel.
MySQL + Kintone + Google Sheets: When a new or updated row is detected in a MySQL database, the corresponding record in Kintone is updated, and a new row is added to a Google Sheet to track the changes.
