Frequently Asked Questions about Grist + SQL Server integrations

New to automation with Zapier? You're not alone. Here are some answers to common questions about how Zapier works with Grist and SQL Server

How do I set up an integration between Grist and SQL Server?

To set up the integration, you need to use our automation platform to connect Grist with your SQL Server. This involves selecting triggers from Grist, such as 'New Record' or 'Updated Record', and mapping them to corresponding actions in SQL Server, like 'Insert Row' or 'Update Row'. You will require access credentials for both systems.

What triggers can be used with Grist in an integration with SQL Server?

In our platform, you can use triggers such as 'New Record', 'Updated Record', or 'Deleted Record' in Grist. These triggers will initiate actions in SQL Server based on the configuration you set.

Can I update records in SQL Server when a record changes in Grist?

Yes, by using the 'Updated Record' trigger from Grist, you can set up an action to update the corresponding record in your SQL Server database. Our system allows mapping data fields from Grist directly into your SQL Server tables.

Is it possible to only sync certain columns between Grist and SQL Server?

We allow you to map specific columns between Grist and SQL Server during the setup of your integration. You can choose which columns should trigger actions and which fields should be updated or inserted during these actions.

How can I handle conflicts when a record is deleted in Grist but exists in SQL Server?

You can set up a trigger for the 'Deleted Record' event in Grist and configure an action to delete the corresponding record in SQL Server. Additionally, we recommend setting logic within your workflow to handle any exceptions if business rules dictate retaining certain records.

What should I do if my connection between Grist and SQL Server breaks?

If your connection breaks, first check the credentials used for logging into both services. We also provide logs that detail recent activities which might help diagnose issues. Re-establishing the connection usually involves verifying these settings and re-triggering any missed operations.

Can scheduled jobs be triggered for batch operations between Grist and SQL Server?

Yes, we support scheduling triggers that allow batch operations at defined intervals. This involves configuring time-based triggers that execute actions such as batch-update or batch-insert of records into your SQL Server database periodically based on data changes or specific schedules.
