STEP 1
Select Database in workflow
Pick Database app in the workflow builder [4] - just one click to select the app.
Database Integration
Store and work with records in your built-in databases. Look up, add, update, or remove rows, and start workflows when data changes. Add Database as a step in any automation on WEXTL. Combine it with app integrations and other built-in workflow nodes to move data, coordinate teams, or route logic across your stack.

Supported triggers and actions for Database integration
Triggers can detect changes in Database and run actions that can create, search or modify data inside Database automatically [3] — exactly how you set them.
- Watch RowsStart the workflow when rows are added, updated, or deleted in a database.
- Get a RowFetch a single row by its ID.
- Create a RowAdd a new row, or several at once.
- Delete a RowDelete a row by its ID.
- Query RowsFind rows that match your filters, sorted and limited.
- Update a RowUpdate an existing row by its ID.
- Upsert a RowCreate a row, or update the matching one if it already exists.
How to integrate Database in automation workflow?
3 simple steps to make your Database connected with other apps in automation workflows on WEXTL. Up to 10 minutes integration set up.
STEP 2
Connect Database
When prompted, authorize access to Database in WEXTL once. Database credentials are encrypted and never shared with WEXTL. Authorization will be reused in any future API calls [3].
Database Access Approval
WEXTL wants to integrate with your Database account. Approve?
STEP 3
Build a workflow
Build your workflow with Database yourself or with WEXTL® AI Builder. Connect Database to any available integrations [5], or use HTTP node to go beyond them.

Connect Database to popular apps on WEXTL
Enter a name of the other app you want to sync with Database below. Click on selected app to explore integration options with Database. If the app you search for is not available in WEXTL yet, you can use HTTP node [10] instead to integrate it directly.
Example automation with Database integration
Select Watch Rows trigger from Database - this will be a starting point in your automation. Whenever event happens in Database, workflow will start [7] from Watch Rows node.
Search for Delete a Row, connect it as the next step of integration sequence. You can use filters between Watch Rows and Delete a Row, so only important data pass from Watch Rows to the next step. WEXTL gives you full control over the process of Database automation. All parts of workflow are visible on the canvas [4].
Database on WEXTL has 7 modules for building built-in automations. Explore Database documentation for more.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about automating Database in your workflows.
Database is a built-in WEXTL workflow node. In practice, store and work with records in your built-in databases. Look up, add, update, or remove rows, and start workflows when data changes. Configure the node's settings panel to control how it behaves inside your automation.
Drop Database onto the visual canvas alongside app integrations and other built-in workflow nodes. Connect it to the steps before and after, configure its parameters, and it runs as part of the automation every time the workflow executes.
No. Most automations are built visually on the canvas by picking triggers, actions, and mapping fields. You can add custom JavaScript with Functions when advanced logic is needed — but our customers do that in rare cases [4].
Yes. WEXTL authenticates every connection per account, encrypts credentials at rest, and lets you enforce approvals and team-level access controls on any automation that uses Database.
Database runs alongside app integrations on the same workflow canvas. It receives data from upstream steps (triggers or other nodes) and passes results to downstream steps. Refer to our Database Documentation for detailed inputs and outputs.
Absolutely. Database works with every trigger source and every app integration on WEXTL. Combine it with native app triggers, scheduled polling, or the Custom Webhook node so Database can react to events from any external system.
WEXTL is an AI-first visual canvas. The platform allows you to describe automation in plain text — and AI will wire nodes like Database inside the workflow builder [4]. You can combine Database with app integrations and other built-in workflow nodes (AI Agent, Human in the Loop, Condition, Aggregate Results) to build the exact flow you need.
