Pipedream MySQL → n8n

5 Pipedream MySQL actions and 2 event sources, and the n8n nodes they become. Converted nodes keep your configured values; expressions like {{steps.x.$return_value}} are rewritten to n8n expressions. Pipedream app slug: mysql.

Actions

Pipedream action	n8n	Fit	Notes
mysql-execute-raw-query	My Sql database → executeQuery	Check output	n8n >=2.3 converts numeric-looking parameter strings to numbers (Number(v)) - usually harmless; PD passed strings.
mysql-execute-query	My Sql database → executeQuery	Check output	Free-form WHERE condition, so executeQuery (not select) keeps exact semantics.
mysql-create-row	My Sql database → insert	Check output	n8n insert (Map Each Column Manually) builds INSERT INTO `table` (cols) VALUES (?) like PD.
mysql-update-row	My Sql database → update	Check output	Both update all rows matching the condition. columnToMatchOn / valueToMatchOn are derived from a simple `<column> = ?` condition by expression; any other WHERE clause, and the column values (PD dynamic props), need the executeQuery rewrite described in…
mysql-find-row	My Sql database → select	Check output	n8n forces >, <, >=, <= values to numbers and throws for non-numeric values (PD allowed e.g. date strings) - use executeQuery ('SELECT * FROM `t` WHERE `col` > $1') for date/string comparisons. LIKE needs explicit % wildcards in both.

Triggers (event sources)

Pipedream trigger	n8n	Fit	Notes
mysql-new-row	Schedule Trigger + polling	Partial	n8n has no MySQL trigger node. Recommend Schedule Trigger (interval from PD timer) + MySQL executeQuery 'SELECT * FROM `<table>` WHERE `<column>` > $1 ORDER BY `<column>` DESC' with the last seen value kept in $getWorkflowStaticData('global') via a Code node…
mysql-new-or-updated-row	Schedule Trigger + polling	Partial	No n8n MySQL trigger. Schedule Trigger + MySQL executeQuery on the datetime column (`column` = last-modified timestamp) > last seen value, tracked in workflow static data.

Credentials

Create a MySQL credential in n8n (type mySql). Converted nodes reference it by name, so n8n links it on import when the names match. Pipedream connected accounts can't be exported and are deleted by April 30, 2027.

What "Fit" means

Direct: same operation, same inputs. Check output: the n8n node returns a different JSON shape, so later steps that read its result need a look. Partial: some options have no n8n equivalent. Mappings verified on 2026-10-13 against the Pipedream registry and n8n source.

Questions

Does n8n have a MySQL node?+

Yes. 5 of the 5 Pipedream MySQL actions listed here map to a native n8n node.

Will my Pipedream MySQL connection move to n8n?+

No. Pipedream exports only an account ID, never the token, and deletes connected accounts by April 30, 2027. Create a MySQL credential in n8n (type mySql) and select it on the converted nodes.

Are Pipedream MySQL triggers supported in n8n?+

n8n has no trigger node for these MySQL events. Converted workflows use a Schedule Trigger that polls the API, or a Webhook node registered in MySQL.

What happens to code steps that call the MySQL API?+

Code steps keep working through a compatibility layer, and tokens read via this.<app>.$auth move to a secrets block in the Code node. Steps that use an npm SDK are rewritten to plain HTTP calls so they run on n8n Cloud.
