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

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 Cloudinary Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the PostgreSQL node, select Cloudinary from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within Cloudinary.

Authenticate Cloudinary
Now, click the Cloudinary node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Cloudinary settings. Authentication allows you to use Cloudinary through Latenode.
Configure the PostgreSQL and Cloudinary 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 Cloudinary 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, Cloudinary, 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 Cloudinary integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between PostgreSQL and Cloudinary (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 Cloudinary
Cloudinary + PostgreSQL + Slack: When a new image is uploaded to Cloudinary, its information is stored in a PostgreSQL database. A Slack message is then sent to notify the team about the new image.
Cloudinary + PostgreSQL + Google Sheets: When a new asset is uploaded to Cloudinary, its details are updated in a PostgreSQL database, and a new row is added to a Google Sheet to record the asset.
