Overview of Knack#

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.

Connect Knack#

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`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Overview of Snowflake#

Snowflake offers a cloud database and related tools to help developers create robust, secure, and scalable data warehouses. See Snowflake's Key Concepts & Architecture.

Getting Started

1. Create a user, role and warehouse in Snowflake

Snowflake recommends you create a new user, role, and warehouse when you integrate a third-party tool like Pipedream. This way, you can control permissions via the user / role, and separate Pipedream compute and costs with the warehouse. You can do this directly in the Snowflake UI.

We recommend you create a read-only account if you only need to query Snowflake. If you need to insert data into Snowflake, add permissions on the appropriate objects after you create your user.

2. Enter those details in Pipedream

Visit https://pipedream.com/accounts. Click the button to Connect an App. Enter the required Snowflake account data.

You'll only need to connect your account once in Pipedream. You can connect this account to multiple workflows to run queries against Snowflake, insert data, and more.

3. Build your first workflow

Visit https://pipedream.com/new to build your first workflow. Pipedream workflows let you connect Snowflake with 1,000+ other apps. You can trigger workflows on Snowflake queries, sending results to Slack, Google Sheets, or any app that exposes an API. Or you can accept data from another app, transform it with Python, Node.js, Go or Bash code, and insert it into Snowflake.
