How to connect Circle and Knack
Create a New Scenario to Connect Circle and Knack
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.
Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Circle, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Circle or Knack will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Circle or Knack, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Circle, Knack, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Circle and Knack integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Circle 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 Circle and Knack
Circle + Knack + Slack: When new content is posted in a Circle community, a record is created in a Knack database to track the content. A notification is then sent to a Slack channel to alert the team about the new content.
Knack + Circle + Airtable: When a new entry is added to a Knack database, a discussion topic is created in a Circle community based on this entry. The same new entry details are also logged in an Airtable base for record-keeping and analysis.
