2. Complete the onboarding process to configure your workspace.
## Step 2: Connecting Your SQL Database
### 2.1 Configure Database Access in CrewAI
1. Log in to your CrewAI account.
2. Navigate to the “Integrations” section.
3. Select “Add New Integration” and choose “SQL Database.”
4. Enter your database credentials (hostname, port, username, password, and database name).
5. Test the connection to ensure it is successful.
### 2.2 Configure Database Access in Composio
1. Log in to your Composio account.
2. Go to the “Data Sources” section.
3. Click on “Add Data Source” and select “SQL Database.”
4. Enter your database credentials and test the connection.
## Step 3: Creating Automated Workflows
### 3.1 Define Your Workflow in Composio
1. In Composio, navigate to the “Workflows” section.
2. Click on “Create New Workflow.”
3. Define the trigger for your workflow (e.g., schedule-based, event-based).
4. Add actions to your workflow, such as running SQL queries or sending notifications.
### 3.2 Integrate CrewAI with Composio
1. In Composio, go to the “Integrations” section.
2. Select “Add Integration” and choose “CrewAI.”
3. Enter your CrewAI API key to establish the connection.
4. Use CrewAI’s AI capabilities to enhance your workflow (e.g., predictive analytics, anomaly detection).
## Step 4: Building Your SQL Agent
### 4.1 Create SQL Queries in CrewAI
1. In CrewAI, navigate to the “SQL Queries” section.
2. Click on “Create New Query.”
3. Write your SQL query based on your requirements (e.g., data extraction, updates).
4. Save the query and test it to ensure it works correctly.
### 4.2 Add SQL Queries to Your Workflow in Composio
1. In Composio, edit your workflow.
2. Add a new action and select “Run SQL Query.”
3. Choose the query you created in CrewAI.
4. Configure any additional parameters or conditions for the query execution.
## Step 5: Testing and Deployment
### 5.1 Test Your Workflow
1. In Composio, run a test of your workflow to ensure it executes correctly.
2. Check the results of your SQL queries and any other actions in the workflow.
### 5.2 Deploy Your SQL Agent
1. Once you are satisfied with the workflow, deploy it in Composio.
2. Monitor the execution of your workflow to ensure it runs smoothly.
