To add MongoDB to Paragon, click the ”+” button in the workflow canvas and choose the MongoDB from the sidebar. Under Connect to a MongoDB account, choose “Add new account for MongoDB” and enter your database credentials. We recommend setting up separate accounts for read and write access to make it harder to accidentally cause unwanted changes to your database.
With the MongoDB trigger, Paragon checks for new data from your trigger every minute in order to start your workflow. Your workflow runs for each record meeting the trigger criteria. For example, five new records in your database with a “new record created” action would run your workflow five separate times, each with information from the corresponding record.The MongoDB trigger provides the following trigger options:
New record created
Record updated
You’ll need to include a date column in your MongoDB database for this
event trigger to work properly.
Paragon displays new and updated records ordered by date in your workflow, with the newest records appearing first. You should order your records by a date column, such as date_created or lastSeen, to properly determine new or updated records.
You can test your workflow on different records using the Debugging Menu. Click the “use a different record as test data” dropdown menu for a list of available records.
