Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring Microsoft SQL Server, Grist, 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 Grist integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Microsoft SQL Server and Grist (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 Grist

Microsoft SQL Server + Grist + Slack: When a new or updated row is added to Microsoft SQL Server, Grist updates its records accordingly. Then, Slack sends a message to a specified channel to notify users about the data changes in Grist.

Grist + Microsoft SQL Server + Google Sheets: When records are created or updated in Grist, the automation inserts a row into Microsoft SQL Server. Then, Google Sheets updates a specific row to visualize the combined data from both platforms.
