How to connect Shippo and Database
Create a New Scenario to Connect Shippo and Database
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 Shippo, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Shippo or Database will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Shippo or Database, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.
Add the Shippo Node
Select the Shippo node from the app selection panel on the right.

Authenticate Database
Now, click the Database node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Database settings. Authentication allows you to use Database through Latenode.
Configure the Shippo and Database 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 Shippo and Database 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 Shippo, Database, 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 Shippo and Database integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Shippo and Database (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Shippo and Database
Shippo + Database + Slack: When a new order is created in Shippo, the order details are logged in a database. Then, a notification is sent to a Slack channel to inform the sales team about the new order.
Database + Shippo + Google Sheets: When an object is created in the database (representing shipment data), shipment details are retrieved using Shippo and then are added as a new row in Google Sheets for reporting purposes.
