Knack API Integrations
Build and run workflows using the Knack API. Use 1000s of source-available triggers and actions across 2,000+ apps. Or write custom code to integrate any app or API in seconds.
Overview#
The Knack API allows for robust interactions with your Knack database, enabling automation of data entry, retrieval, updates, and deletion. With Pipedream, you can leverage these capabilities to create seamless workflows that react to events in real-time, sync data across platforms, and enhance your database management without manual intervention. Think less about CRUD operations and more about the magic of connecting your Knack data to the digital tools ecosystem.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
knack: {
type: "app",
app: "knack",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
method: "post",
url: `https://api.knack.com/v1/objects/object_1/records`,
headers: {
"X-Knack-Application-Id": `${this.knack.$auth.application_id}`,
"X-Knack-REST-API-KEY": `${this.knack.$auth.api_key}`,
"content-type": `application/json`,
},
})
},
})

Example Use Cases#
Automated Contact Syncing: When a new contact is added to a CRM like Salesforce, trigger a Pipedream workflow that creates or updates the corresponding record in a Knack database, ensuring your contact lists are always in sync.
Support Ticket Management: Use Pipedream to watch for new support tickets submitted via a form on your website. Once a ticket is received, automatically create a new record in Knack and send a Slack message to your support team to prompt immediate action.
Inventory Alerts: Set up a Pipedream workflow to monitor inventory levels in Knack. When stock for a particular item falls below a threshold, automatically send an email alert via SendGrid to your procurement team to reorder, keeping inventory levels optimal.

Authentication#
Knack uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Knack account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Knack APIs in both code and no-code steps.
Object-based requests require at least two headers: an application ID - to identify to our servers the app whose records you are requesting - and an API key (which is specific to each app) to authenticate the request. See docs.
