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

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

Authenticate Apify
Now, click the Apify node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Apify settings. Authentication allows you to use Apify through Latenode.
Configure the Microsoft SQL Server and Apify 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 Microsoft SQL Server and Apify 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 SQL Server, Apify, 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 SQL Server and Apify integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Microsoft SQL Server and Apify (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Microsoft SQL Server and Apify
Apify + Microsoft SQL Server + Slack: This automation monitors a website for changes using Apify. When changes are detected, the data is logged into a Microsoft SQL Server database, and a notification is sent to a Slack channel to alert the team.
Microsoft SQL Server + Apify + Google Sheets: This flow monitors a Microsoft SQL Server database for new or updated rows. When a change occurs, Apify fetches data or scrapes a related URL, and the gathered information is then saved into a Google Sheet for tracking and analysis.
