How to connect PostgreSQL and Instantly
Create a New Scenario to Connect PostgreSQL and Instantly
In the workspace, click the βCreate New Scenarioβ button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node β 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 Instantly will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find PostgreSQL or Instantly, 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.

Set Up the PostgreSQL and Instantly 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 donβt 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, Instantly, and any additional nodes, donβt 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 βRun onceβ and triggering an event to check if the PostgreSQL and Instantly integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between PostgreSQL and Instantly (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 Instantly
PostgreSQL + Instantly + Lemlist: When a new lead is added to PostgreSQL, it is automatically added to Instantly and then added to a Lemlist campaign.
Instantly + PostgreSQL + Slack: When an Instantly campaign reaches a goal (e.g., a lead is marked as interested), update PostgreSQL with the lead's status, and notify the sales team in Slack.
