Hi dear Zapier friends,

 

Do you know if it is possible to connect to a Heroku Postgres database?

I am trying to find whether there is a firewall or something like that that would make it impossible but couldn’t find the answer out there.

Thanks for your help.

Hi @mcbeyonce 

As stated in their website, the DB should be accessible by any postgres client. https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/connecting-to-heroku-postgres-databases-from-outside-of-heroku#:~:text=However%2C%20except%20for%20private%20and,application%20using%20standard%20Postgres%20clients.

 

So you should be able to connect it through Zapier.
