How to connect MySQL and Microsoft Outlook
Create a New Scenario to Connect MySQL and Microsoft Outlook
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 Microsoft Outlook will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find MySQL or Microsoft Outlook, 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.

Authenticate Microsoft Outlook
Now, click the Microsoft Outlook node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Microsoft Outlook settings. Authentication allows you to use Microsoft Outlook through Latenode.
Configure the MySQL and Microsoft Outlook 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 MySQL and Microsoft Outlook 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, Microsoft Outlook, 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 Microsoft Outlook integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between MySQL and Microsoft Outlook (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 Microsoft Outlook
MySQL + Google Sheets + Microsoft Outlook: When a new or updated row is detected in MySQL, the data is added to a Google Sheet. A weekly summary of the Google Sheet is then sent via Microsoft Outlook.
Microsoft Outlook + MySQL + Slack: When a new email arrives in Microsoft Outlook, the flow finds a row in MySQL using information from the email. If the row is found, a message is sent to a Slack channel.
