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

- 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, WordPress.com, 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 WordPress.com integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between MySQL and WordPress.com (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 WordPress.com
MySQL + WordPress.com + Discord bot: When a new product is added to a MySQL database, a post is automatically created on WordPress.com with relevant information. A notification is then sent to a Discord channel, informing members about the new product and linking to the WordPress post.
WordPress.com + MySQL + Google Sheets: Whenever a new blog post is published on WordPress.com, its details are recorded in a MySQL database. The data in the MySQL database is then used to update a Google Sheet, allowing for the tracking of content performance.
