Hello, Can you please guide me how can i call my external get and post api from flows.js file? Thanks

@kuema , do you know of any custom storage backend that saves to database already implemented? Perhaps it's already done?

Several, actually. https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=node-red%20storage EDIT: Some of these are nodes, not storage backends!

[image] kuema: node-red storage - npm search @dhpatel177 perhaps one of these will help?

Here's one for MongoDB, for example: https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-red-mongo-storage-plugin

Can I ask why you want to save it to a database?

I think the goal is to get the multi-user approach mentioned in this very first post, each user getting their own flows: [image] Node red for Individual User General Hello, In my application i have a requirement like for an individual there should be individual flows shou…

Why not use the file node to read flows.json put it through a change node and extract the tab you are looking for and store that in the database. (Roughly speaking)

Plus, use a Watch node to determine when the flows have changed so you know to update the database.

no - the correct way is as @kuema pointed out... to write your own Storage plugin to the provided storage API.
