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

- 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.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring MySQL, Facebook Pages, 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 MySQL and Facebook Pages integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between MySQL and Facebook Pages (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect MySQL and Facebook Pages
Facebook Pages + MySQL + Slack: When a new post is added to a Facebook Page, extract the relevant customer feedback data and insert it into a MySQL database. Then, send a notification to a designated Slack channel informing the team about the new feedback.
Facebook Pages + MySQL + Google Sheets: This automation retrieves new posts from a Facebook Page and stores the post content and engagement metrics in a MySQL database. Periodically, the data from MySQL is then summarized and updated in a Google Sheet for reporting and analysis.
