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

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring MySQL, PDF.co, 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 PDF.co integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between MySQL and PDF.co (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 PDF.co
MySQL + PDF.co + Google Drive: When a new row is added to a MySQL database, its data is converted into a PDF using PDF.co and then saved to a specified folder in Google Drive.
PDF.co + MySQL + Airtable: When a document is parsed by PDF.co, the extracted data is used to update a row in a MySQL database and then sync that same data to an Airtable base.
