STEP 1
Select Microsoft SQL Server in workflow
Pick Microsoft SQL Server app in the workflow builder [4] - just one click to select the app.
Microsoft SQL Server Integration
Read and change rows in a Microsoft SQL Server or Azure SQL database, run your own query, and start a workflow when new rows appear. Works with SQL Server 2016 or newer, Azure SQL Database, and Amazon RDS for SQL Server. Add Microsoft SQL Server 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 Microsoft SQL Server integration
Triggers can detect changes in Microsoft SQL Server and run actions that can create, search or modify data inside Microsoft SQL Server automatically [3] — exactly how you set them.
- Watch rowsStart a workflow when new or changed rows appear in a table. Checks on your workflow schedule.
- Delete rowsDelete the rows that match your conditions.
- Execute a queryRun your own T-SQL, with values passed as parameters.
- Insert a rowAdd a row to a table and get its new identity value back.
- Select rowsRead rows from a table with simple conditions, a sort and a limit.
- Update rowsChange the rows that match your conditions.
How to integrate Microsoft SQL Server in automation workflow?
3 simple steps to make your Microsoft SQL Server connected with other apps in automation workflows on WEXTL. Up to 10 minutes integration set up.
STEP 2
Connect Microsoft SQL Server
When prompted, authorize access to Microsoft SQL Server in WEXTL once. Microsoft SQL Server credentials are encrypted and never shared with WEXTL. Authorization will be reused in any future API calls [3].
Microsoft SQL Server Access Approval
WEXTL wants to integrate with your Microsoft SQL Server account. Approve?
STEP 3
Build a workflow
Build your workflow with Microsoft SQL Server yourself or with WEXTL® AI Builder. Connect Microsoft SQL Server to any available integrations [5], or use HTTP node to go beyond them.

Connect Microsoft SQL Server to popular apps on WEXTL
Enter a name of the other app you want to sync with Microsoft SQL Server below. Click on selected app to explore integration options with Microsoft SQL Server. 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 Microsoft SQL Server integration
Select Watch rows trigger from Microsoft SQL Server - this will be a starting point in your automation. Whenever event happens in Microsoft SQL Server, workflow will start [7] from Watch rows node.
Search for Delete rows, connect it as the next step of integration sequence. You can use filters between Watch rows and Delete rows, so only important data pass from Watch rows to the next step. WEXTL gives you full control over the process of Microsoft SQL Server automation. All parts of workflow are visible on the canvas [4].
Microsoft SQL Server on WEXTL has 6 modules for building built-in automations. Explore Microsoft SQL Server documentation for more.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about automating Microsoft SQL Server in your workflows.
Microsoft SQL Server is a built-in WEXTL workflow node. In practice, read and change rows in a Microsoft SQL Server or Azure SQL database, run your own query, and start a workflow when new rows appear. Works with SQL Server 2016 or newer, Azure SQL Database, and Amazon RDS for SQL Server. Configure the node's settings panel to control how it behaves inside your automation.
Drop Microsoft SQL Server 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 Microsoft SQL Server.
Microsoft SQL Server 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 Microsoft SQL Server Documentation for detailed inputs and outputs.
Absolutely. Microsoft SQL Server 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 Microsoft SQL Server 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 Microsoft SQL Server inside the workflow builder [4]. You can combine Microsoft SQL Server 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.
