MySQL and Slack integration
Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for MySQL and Slack and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Development, Data & Storage, and Communication workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.
How to connect MySQL and Slack
- Step 1: Create a new workflow
- Step 2: Add and configure nodes
- Step 3: Connect
- Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
- Step 5: Test and activate your workflow
Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step
In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.
Step 2: Add and configure MySQL and Slack nodes
You can find MySQL and Slack in the nodes panel. Drag them onto your workflow canvas, selecting their actions. Click each node, choose a credential, and authenticate to grant n8n access. Configure MySQL and Slack nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.
Step 3: Connect MySQL and Slack
A connection establishes a link between MySQL and Slack (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.
Step 4: Customize and extend your MySQL and Slack integration
Use n8n's core nodes such as If, Split Out, Merge, and others to transform and manipulate data. Write custom JavaScript or Python in the Code node and run it as a step in your workflow. Connect MySQL and Slack with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.
Step 5: Test and activate your MySQL and Slack workflow
Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from MySQL to Slack or vice versa. Easily debug your workflow: you can check past executions to isolate and fix the mistake. Once you've tested everything, make sure to save your workflow and activate it.

Parse DMARC reports, save them in database and notify on DKIM or SPF error
Who is it for
If you are a postmaster or you manage email server, you can set up DKIM and SPF records to ensure that spoofing your email address is hard. On your domain you can also set up DMARC record to receive XML reports from email providers (rua tag). Those reports contain data if email they received passed DKIM and SPF verifications.
Since DMARC email is public, you will receive a lot of emails from email providers, not only if DKIM/SPF fail. There is no need for it - you probably only need to know if SPF/DKIM failed.
So this script is intended to automatically parse all DMARC reports that come from email providers, but ONLY send you notification if SPF or DKIM failed - meaning that either someone tries to spoof your email or your DKIM/SPF is improperly set up.
How it works
script monitors postmaster email for DMARC reprots (rua)
unpacks report and parses XML into JSON
maps JSON and formats fields for MySQL/MariaDB input
inputs into database
sends notification on DKIM or SPF failure
Remember to set up
email input mailbox
notification channels

Build your own MySQL and Slack integration
Create custom MySQL and Slack 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.
