I am from TiDB community. TiDB is an open source distributed HTAP NewSQL database and fit for real-time analytics. There is also a TiDB Cloud.

I’d like to develop a TiDB Cloud App but find Zapier Integration works with API. I wonder how to develop a database App just like MySQL in Zapier (TiDB is fully compatible with MySQL protocol ). Is there any suggestions or reference?

Thanks!

Hi @yuhang 👋

In order to connect your software with the Zapier Platform (and all 5000+ other apps supported by the Platform), that software will need to have a publicly-accessible API which you can use to build your Zapier Integration. You can find some high-level information about this concept at the link below:
https://platform.zapier.com/docs/zapier-intro 

There is unfortunately no other way to connect without an API.
 
When you're ready to get started, the guide linked below offers a great introduction to building your first Zapier integration: https://platform.zapier.com/docs/start 
 
Alternatively, depending on the functionality of your software and the automations that you'd like to create with Zapier, you might be able to achieve your goals using some of the strategies outlined here:

I hope this helps to get you pointed in the right direction!
