How to connect to an External DB

  • Connections to external databases can be added into flows using database connectors.

  • Database connectors can be added when building a flow using the connector flow element and selecting the database option, or by navigating to the Databases page using the left side menu and adding a new database.

  • When adding a new database connection you can select what type of database to link to from amongst the available options.

  • Provide the necessary configuration details to connect to your database and save.
