How to connect MySQL and Fotor
Create a New Scenario to Connect MySQL and Fotor
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 Fotor will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find MySQL or Fotor, 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.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring MySQL, Fotor, 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 Fotor integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between MySQL and Fotor (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 Fotor
MySQL + Fotor + Slack: When a new row containing a product image is added to a MySQL database, the image is automatically edited using Fotor, and then a message with the edited image is sent to a designated Slack channel for review.
Fotor + Google Drive + MySQL: When an image is edited in Fotor, it is automatically saved to a specified folder in Google Drive. The file path and creation date of the saved image are then updated in a designated row in a MySQL database.
