How to connect MySQL and OpenCTI

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 OpenCTI (using the HTTP Request node)

You can find MySQL and OpenCTI nodes in the nodes panel and drag them onto your workflow canvas. MySQL node comes with pre-built credentials and supported actions. OpenCTI can be set up with the HTTP Request node using a pre-configured credential type. The HTTP Request node makes custom API calls to OpenCTI. Configure MySQL and OpenCTI nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 3: Connect MySQL and OpenCTI

A connection establishes a link between MySQL and OpenCTI (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 OpenCTI 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 OpenCTI with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.

Step 5: Test and activate your MySQL and OpenCTI workflow

Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from MySQL to OpenCTI 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.

Build your own MySQL and OpenCTI integration

Create custom MySQL and OpenCTI 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.

MySQL and OpenCTI integration details

The relational database management system MySQL is free and open-source. Although MySQL includes standalone clients that let users communicate with a MySQL database directly using SQL, it is more frequently used in conjunction with other applications to develop applications that require relational database functionality.
