Depending on your setup, data should flow between Businessmap and Knack (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Businessmap and Knack
Businessmap + Knack + Slack: When a new card is created in Businessmap, a corresponding record is created in Knack. Then, a message is sent to a specified Slack channel to notify the team about the new project.
Businessmap + Knack + Google Sheets: When a card is updated in Businessmap, the automation finds the matching record in Knack and then updates a row in Google Sheets with the data from Knack. This keeps the Google Sheet synchronized with project updates.
