MySQL is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) that is widely used for managing structured data. It was originally developed by MySQL AB and later acquired by Oracle Corporation. MySQL is one of the most popular database systems in the world due to its simplicity, reliability, and scalability.
How does MySQL work with Custify?
Custify integrates with MySQL, allowing you to extract People, Events, and Companies directly from your MySQL data warehouse. When you connect MySQL, you’ll map your source data to Custify’s data objects.
By default, our app synchronizes data every hour, making it readily accessible within Custify for analysis and customer management by your customer success team.
How Do I Activate This Integration?
1. Sign in to Custify and navigate to the Integrations page.
2. Select the Data Warehouse integration.
3. Click New Sync and then New Source, and select MySQL.
4. Fill in your connection information.
- We recommend creating a dedicated user for Custify to access your MySQL data warehouse. The user must have access to the tables you want to connect to Custify.
- Here is a sample of how to create a user with access to a specific table:
CREATE USER <your_user> PASSWORD '********';
GRANT SELECT ON TABLE <your_table> TO <your_user>
5. Select which Custify object you want to create from your data: People, Events, or Companies.
6. Select the source data in your MySQL data warehouse.
- Select the namespace and table in your data warehouse that contains the source data.
7. Map the fields in your source data to the fields expected by Custify.
