How to connect MySQL and OpenAI Image Generation
Create a New Scenario to Connect MySQL and OpenAI Image Generation
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 OpenAI Image Generation will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find MySQL or OpenAI Image Generation, 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 OpenAI Image Generation 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, OpenAI Image Generation, 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 OpenAI Image Generation integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between MySQL and OpenAI Image Generation (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 OpenAI Image Generation
MySQL + OpenAI Image Generation + Slack: When a new row is added to a MySQL database, an image is generated using OpenAI based on data from that row, and a preview of the generated image along with a message, is sent to a specified Slack channel.
OpenAI Image Generation + MySQL + Airtable: When an image is generated using OpenAI, the image details (URL, prompt, etc.) are stored in a MySQL database. Simultaneously, related data is logged in an Airtable base for reporting and analysis.
