When to use this node #
Check PostgreSQL connection status and control automation processors. Works with both PostgreSQL and PostgreSQL Automation integrations. Automation control only available for PostgreSQL Automation.
Add PostgreSQL: Connection & Automation to a workflow branch using the node picker. Configure its fields in the inspector, then connect the next step.
Before you begin #
Connect PostgreSQL in App Connections first. Select the intended account in this node; an account connected to a different service is not interchangeable. Available actions depend on the permissions granted to that connection.
Configure the fields #
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| PostgreSQL Connection | Connected PostgreSQL database connection (PostgreSQL or PostgreSQL Automation) |
| Automation Control | Control automation processor: leave empty to only check connection, 'stop' to disable automation, 'run' to enable automation (PostgreSQL Automation only) Choices: (empty), stop, run. |
Use the result #
Choose the output from the variable picker in a later step. Output names below identify the values supplied by this node; the picker inserts the correct reference for your node instance.
| Output | Meaning / label |
|---|---|
connectionStatus |
Connection Status |
connectionError |
Connection Error |
automationStatus |
Automation Status |
automationError |
Automation Error |
Connect the next step #
Connect the continuation shown on the canvas. Some nodes calculate their branches from the configured options. Read each branch label in the editor and connect the paths your workflow needs.
Test it in a workflow #
- Configure this node with a small, recognizable test input or a test resource.
- Check the variables from preceding steps and the connection selected in the inspector.
- Save the workflow. For event-driven flows, generate the actual event; use Run only for a Manual workflow.
- Open Workflow Activity and check the outcome before enabling wider use.
If something goes wrong #
- Reconnect the account if authorization has expired, then verify its permissions on the specific resource.
- Check empty variables, selected resource IDs, and any fields that appeared after resource selection.
- Check the failed step in Workflow Activity before retrying. If the action may already have completed, inspect the destination first to avoid duplicates.
- Follow the troubleshooting guide for a symptom-by-symptom checklist.
