Most powerful ways to connect Google Groups and Knack

Google Groups + Slack + Knack: When a new message is posted to a Google Group, a notification is sent to a designated Slack channel. Key discussion points from the Google Groups message are then saved as a new record in a Knack database.

Knack + Google Groups + Gmail: When a new record is created in a Knack application, the automation retrieves members of a specified Google Group, and then sends an email via Gmail to each member, notifying them of the new record in Knack.
