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

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

- 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 SharePoint Online, 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 SharePoint Online and MySQL integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Microsoft SharePoint Online and MySQL (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
