Seamless Google Sheets to MySQL Data Synchronization
detail.loadingPreview
Automate the transfer and synchronization of your Google Sheets data directly into your MySQL database. Ensure data consistency and leverage your spreadsheet information in a structured database environment.
About This Workflow
This workflow provides a robust solution for bridging the gap between the accessibility of Google Sheets and the power of MySQL databases. It automates the process of pulling data from Google Sheets, transforming it, and upserting it into a specified MySQL table. Crucially, it includes logic to compare datasets, identify new or updated records, and even update the source Google Sheet with status information. This ensures your database remains an accurate reflection of your spreadsheet data, enabling more sophisticated analysis and operations without manual intervention. Schedule your syncs to run automatically or trigger them on demand.
Key Features
- Automated Data Ingestion: Effortlessly pull data from Google Sheets into your workflow.
- Intelligent Data Comparison: Automatically identify new and changed records between sources using specified fields like timestamps and names.
- Bidirectional Synchronization: Update your Google Sheet with processed status and timestamps directly from MySQL.
- Flexible Scheduling: Run your syncs automatically at set intervals or trigger them manually when needed.
- Customizable Data Mapping: Rename and transform Google Sheets columns to match your MySQL schema.
How To Use
- Schedule Trigger: Configure the 'Schedule Trigger' to define how often your workflow should run (e.g., every 30 minutes between 6 AM and 10 PM on weekdays).
- Google Sheet Data: Connect your Google Sheets account and specify the Document ID and Sheet Name containing your data. The 'DB Status' column will be used for filtering.
- Rename GSheet Variables: Use the 'Set' node to map and rename columns from your Google Sheet to your desired database field names. Pay close attention to date formatting and custom variable creation (e.g., 'source_name').
- SQL Get inquiries from Google: Connect your MySQL database and configure this node to select data from your 'ConcertInquiries' table, specifically filtering by 'source_name' as 'GoogleForm'.
- Compare Datasets: Utilize the 'Compare Datasets' node to find differences between your Google Sheet data and your MySQL data. Configure 'mergeByFields' (e.g., 'timestamp', 'source_name') and 'skipFields' (e.g., 'record_created', 'id') for accurate comparison.
- No reply too long?: Use this 'IF' node to check if the Google Sheet record is too old to process based on its timestamp.
- Add MySQL records: Configure this 'MySQL' node to 'upsert' the new or updated records from Google Sheets into your 'ConcertInquiries' table, using 'timestamp' as the column to match on.
- DB Status assigned?: This 'IF' node checks if a 'DB Status' has been assigned to the record in the comparison.
- Update GSheet status: If a status is assigned, this 'Google Sheets' node updates the 'DB Status' and 'Timestamp' in your Google Sheet for the matched record.
- Send Notifications: Connect this node to trigger notifications or further actions based on the success or failure of the synchronization process.
