Step-by-step guide
How to connect PostgreSQL to Supabase
Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
What you'll need
- An active PostgreSQL account with read/write permissions
- An active Supabase account with read/write permissions
- A free DeskFerry account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
- Step 01
Create your DeskFerry account
Sign up at deskferry.app — it takes 30 seconds and starts a 7-day free trial. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
- Step 02
Authenticate PostgreSQL
Click "Add Connection" and select PostgreSQL from the app directory. You'll be redirected to PostgreSQL's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry read/write access to your database collections and records. You specify which databases and collections the integration can use.
- Step 03
Authenticate Supabase
Same process for Supabase. Click "Add Connection," select Supabase, and authorize access. Grant DeskFerry read/write access to your database collections and records. You specify which databases and collections the integration can use.
- Step 04
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new record created in postgresql or new record created in supabase. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
- Step 05
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: insert record in supabase. Map the data fields between PostgreSQL and Supabase so the right information lands in the right place.
- Step 06
Test and activate
Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between PostgreSQL and Supabase. Check that the fields map as expected, then toggle the workflow on. It runs 24/7 from here — DeskFerry handles retries, error logging, and monitoring automatically.
Benefits
Why connect PostgreSQL and Supabase?

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect PostgreSQL to Supabase?
Sign up for a free DeskFerry account, then click "Add Connection" to authenticate both PostgreSQL and Supabase via OAuth. Choose a workflow template — like syncing databases events to databases actions — customize the field mapping, and activate. The entire setup takes under 5 minutes.
What can I automate between PostgreSQL and Supabase?
You can automate a wide range of workflows: sync new PostgreSQL events to Supabase actions, trigger Supabase updates when PostgreSQL data changes, create Supabase records from PostgreSQL events, and build conditional workflows with filters and field mapping. Each workflow runs 24/7 with automatic retries.
Is the PostgreSQL and Supabase integration free?
DeskFerry's 7-day free trial is enough to prove the workflow out. If your PostgreSQL-to-Supabase workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $49/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.
Is my PostgreSQL data secure when connected to Supabase?
Yes. DeskFerry uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your PostgreSQL or Supabase passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your databases data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your DeskFerry dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between PostgreSQL and Supabase?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either PostgreSQL or Supabase. For example, create a workflow where PostgreSQL events update Supabase, and a separate one where Supabase changes sync back to PostgreSQL. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect PostgreSQL and Supabase?
No coding is required. DeskFerry's builder is prompt-based: you describe the trigger and what should happen in plain English, and the agent handles the field mapping. If you can use PostgreSQL and Supabase, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
