How to connect MySQL and Lark
Create a New Scenario to Connect MySQL and Lark
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 Lark will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find MySQL or Lark, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the MySQL Node
Select the MySQL node from the app selection panel on the right.

Set Up the MySQL and Lark 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 MySQL, Lark, 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 Lark integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between MySQL and Lark (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 Lark
MySQL + Lark + Google Sheets: This automation monitors a MySQL database for new or updated rows. When a change occurs, a message is sent to a designated Lark group chat, and the details of the update are logged in a Google Sheet for auditing and tracking.
Lark + Jira + MySQL: When a new message is received in a specified Lark group chat, the system checks for keywords indicating an urgent issue. If found, a Jira ticket is automatically created, and the event details are logged in a MySQL database for future analysis.
