Sync Google Sheets data with MySQL

This workflow performs several data integration and synchronization tasks between Google Sheets and a MySQL database. Here is a step-by-step description of what this workflow does: Manual Trigger: The workflow starts when the user clicks "Execute Workflow." Schedule Trigger: This node schedules the workflow to run at specific intervals on weekdays (Monday to Friday) between 6 AM and 10 PM. It ensures regular data synchronization. Google Sheet Data: This node connects to a specific Google Sheets document and retrieves data from the "Form Responses 1" sheet, filtering by the "DB Status" column. SQL Get inquiries from Google: This node retrieves data from a MySQL database table named "ConcertInquiries" where the "source_name" is "GoogleForm." Rename GSheet variables: This node renames the columns retrieved from Google Sheets and transforms the data into a format suitable for MySQL, assigning a value for "source_name" as "GoogleForm." Compare Datasets: This node compares the data retrieved from Google Sheets and the MySQL database based on timestamp and source_name fields. It identifies changes and updates. No reply too long?: This node checks if there has been no reply within the last four hours, using the "timestamp" field from the Google Sheets data. DB Status assigned?: This node checks if the "DB Status" field is not empty in the compared dataset. Update GSheet status: If conditions are met in the previous nodes, this node updates the "DB Status" field in Google Sheets with the corresponding value from the MySQL dataset. DB Status in sync?: This node checks if the "source_name" field in Google Sheets is not empty. Sync MySQL data: If conditions are met in the previous nodes, this node updates the "source_name" field in the MySQL database to "GoogleFormSync." Send Notifications: If conditions are met in the "No reply too long?" node, this node sends notifications or performs actions as needed. Sticky Notes: These nodes provide additional information and documentation links for users.

Build your own MySQL and Google Sheets integration

Create custom MySQL and Google Sheets workflows by choosing triggers and actions. Nodes come with global operations and settings, as well as app-specific parameters that can be configured. You can also use the HTTP Request node to query data from any app or service with a REST API.
