How to connect PostgreSQL and Clio
Create a New Scenario to Connect PostgreSQL and Clio
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 PostgreSQL, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, PostgreSQL or Clio will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find PostgreSQL or Clio, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the PostgreSQL Node
Select the PostgreSQL node from the app selection panel on the right.


PostgreSQL

Configure the PostgreSQL
Click on the PostgreSQL node to configure it. You can modify the PostgreSQL URL and choose between DEV and PROD versions. You can also copy it for use in further automations.
Add the Clio Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the PostgreSQL node, select Clio from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within Clio.

Clio


Authenticate Clio
Now, click the Clio node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Clio settings. Authentication allows you to use Clio through Latenode.
Configure the PostgreSQL and Clio 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 PostgreSQL and Clio 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 PostgreSQL, Clio, 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 PostgreSQL and Clio integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between PostgreSQL and Clio (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect PostgreSQL and Clio
Clio + PostgreSQL + Slack: When a new contact is added to Clio, the contact information is added to a PostgreSQL database. A message is then sent to a designated Slack channel to notify the team of the new client.
Clio + PostgreSQL + Google Sheets: When a new contact is added to Clio, the contact information is added to a PostgreSQL database. Data from PostgreSQL is then used to update and generate reports in Google Sheets.
