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 Google Forms, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Google Forms or Knack will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Google Forms or Knack, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google Forms, 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 Google Forms and Knack integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Forms 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 Google Forms and Knack
Google Forms + Knack + Slack: When a new form is submitted in Google Forms, a new record is created in Knack. Then, a message summarizing the form submission is sent to a designated Slack channel.
Knack + Google Forms + Google Sheets: When a new record is created in Knack, a Google Form is triggered to collect feedback related to that record. The data from this feedback form is then compiled into a Google Sheet.
