STEP 1
Select MySQL in workflow
Pick MySQL app in the workflow builder [4] - just one click to select the app.
MySQL Integration
Read and change rows in a MySQL or MariaDB database, run your own query, and start a workflow when new rows appear. Works with MySQL, MariaDB, Amazon RDS and Aurora, and other MySQL-compatible servers. Use MySQL inside visual workflows on WEXTL to compose logic that vendor integrations alone cannot cover. Pair it with app triggers and actions on the canvas to build end-to-end automations.

Supported triggers and actions for MySQL integration
Triggers can detect changes in MySQL and run actions that can create, search or modify data inside MySQL 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 SQL, with values passed as parameters.
- Insert a rowAdd a row to a table and get its new id back.
- Insert or update a rowAdd a row, or update it when a row with the same key already exists.
- 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 MySQL in automation workflow?
3 simple steps to make your MySQL connected with other apps in automation workflows on WEXTL. Up to 10 minutes integration set up.
STEP 2
Connect MySQL
When prompted, authorize access to MySQL in WEXTL once. MySQL credentials are encrypted and never shared with WEXTL. Authorization will be reused in any future API calls [3].
MySQL Access Approval
WEXTL wants to integrate with your MySQL account. Approve?
STEP 3
Build a workflow
Build your workflow with MySQL yourself or with WEXTL® AI Builder. Connect MySQL to any available integrations [5], or use HTTP node to go beyond them.
MySQL
Connect MySQL to popular apps on WEXTL
Enter a name of the other app you want to sync with MySQL below. Click on selected app to explore integration options with MySQL. 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 MySQL integration
Select Watch rows trigger from MySQL - this will be a starting point in your automation. Whenever event happens in MySQL, 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 MySQL automation. All parts of workflow are visible on the canvas [4].
MySQL on WEXTL has 7 modules for building built-in automations. Explore MySQL documentation for more.

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