STEP 1
Connect Email and PostgreSQL
Save credentials in WEXTL once. We store them encrypted and reuse the authorization across every workflow [3]. No coding or API skills required.
Email and PostgreSQL Integration
Combine the built-in Email node with PostgreSQL on the WEXTL® visual workflow builder. Drop Email anywhere in your PostgreSQL automation to run its logic between steps — the two live side by side on the same canvas, so you build the whole flow visually without a single line of code.

Learn about Email and PostgreSQL
Detailed info you need to know about Email and PostgreSQL integrations in WEXTL. Explore which modules apps support and how you connect them.
Read, search and send email from any provider over IMAP and SMTP: Gmail, Yahoo, iCloud, Fastmail or your own mail server. Start a workflow when a new email arrives. [5]
PostgreSQL
Read and change rows in a PostgreSQL database, run your own query, and start a workflow when new rows appear. Works with PostgreSQL, Supabase, Neon, AWS RDS and other PostgreSQL servers. [6]
How to connect Email to PostgreSQL
Set up your Email and PostgreSQL integration in 3 simple steps [2] — no coding required. Up to 10 minutes setup.
STEP 2
Build a workflow
Paste selected Email and PostgreSQL nodes onto the canvas [4], or describe what you want and WEXTL wires the flow together with AI Builder.
STEP 3
Map your data
Choose which fields need to sync between Email and PostgreSQL. Use filters or leverage a JS custom code step in between — everything is on the canvas.
How does the integration between Email and PostgreSQL work in WEXTL?
WEXTL exposes actions and triggers for Email and PostgreSQL that help you connect apps and automate repetitive tasks [1]. A trigger is an event that happens, an action — a step that performs when the event has occurred.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about connecting Email and PostgreSQL.
Connect your Email and PostgreSQL accounts once, pick a trigger in one app and an action in the other, then map the fields so data flows automatically between them. [3]
Example: when Email's "Watch emails" fires, WEXTL can "Delete rows" in PostgreSQL. Email has 1 trigger (including Watch emails); PostgreSQL has 6 actions (including Delete rows, Execute a query, and Insert a row). Add filters and transforms between steps when you need them. [1]
Yes — the integration works in both directions. Use each app's triggers to start a workflow and the other app's actions to update it. [2]
No. Email-to-PostgreSQL automations are built visually on the canvas. You can optionally add custom JavaScript with Functions when you need advanced logic. [4]
Yes. Trigger-based automations start the moment Email (or PostgreSQL) fires a new event — webhook-backed apps run within seconds, and polling-only apps re-check on a schedule you control. [7]
A first automation typically takes 5–10 minutes: connect each app's credential once, drop a trigger + action onto the canvas, map the fields, and turn the workflow on.
