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

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.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring MySQL, Microsoft SharePoint Online, 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 SharePoint Online integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between MySQL and Microsoft SharePoint Online (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 SharePoint Online
MySQL + Microsoft SharePoint Online + Slack: When a new or updated row is detected in a MySQL database, the details of the change are logged by creating a new folder in SharePoint. A message is then sent to a Slack channel notifying of the change and linking to the SharePoint folder.
Microsoft SharePoint Online + MySQL + Microsoft Teams: When a file is uploaded to a SharePoint folder, the automation updates a corresponding row in a MySQL database. Afterwards, a message is sent to a Microsoft Teams channel to notify the team about the updated file and database entry.
