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

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

Configure the Microsoft Outlook
Click on the Microsoft Outlook node to configure it. You can modify the Microsoft Outlook URL and choose between DEV and PROD versions. You can also copy it for use in further automations.
Add the MySQL Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the Microsoft Outlook node, select MySQL from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within MySQL.

Set Up the Microsoft Outlook 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 Microsoft Outlook, 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 Microsoft Outlook and MySQL integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Microsoft Outlook 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 Microsoft Outlook and MySQL
Microsoft Outlook + MySQL + Microsoft Teams: When a new email arrives in Outlook, the flow extracts key information and inserts it as a new row into a MySQL database. A notification is then sent to a Microsoft Teams channel to alert the team about the new entry.
MySQL + Microsoft Outlook + Slack: When a new row is added to a MySQL database, the flow checks if certain conditions are met. If they are, a summary email is sent via Outlook, and a Slack message is sent to notify the team.
