Database Connections

Connect external databases to read, write, and query data from your workflows and reports.

Supported databases

  • PostgreSQL — High-performance relational database.
  • MySQL — Widely used relational database.
  • MongoDB — Document-oriented NoSQL database.
  • REST APIs — Connect with any external service that exposes a REST API.

Create a connection

  1. Go to Settings > Resources and click "New connection".
  2. Select the database type.
  3. Enter the connection details: host, port, database name, user, and password.
  4. Click "Test connection" to verify the details are correct.
  5. Save the connection. It will be available for use in queries, workflows, and reports.

Security

Connection credentials are stored encrypted. Connections are isolated per organization (tenant), so each team can only access its own databases. All connections use SSL/TLS for communication.

Next step

Explore internal tables to store data directly on the platform without needing an external database.
