How to connect Knack and Amazon S3
Create a New Scenario to Connect Knack and Amazon S3
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 Knack, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Knack or Amazon S3 will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Knack or Amazon S3, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.
Add the Knack Node
Select the Knack node from the app selection panel on the right.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Knack, Amazon S3, 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 Knack and Amazon S3 integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Knack and Amazon S3 (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Knack and Amazon S3
Knack + Amazon S3 + Google Sheets: Knack's new record trigger initiates an Amazon S3 file upload to archive database backups. Google Sheets then logs each backup's details (date, size) for monitoring purposes by adding a new row.
Amazon S3 + Knack + Slack: When new files are added to an S3 bucket, the automation creates a new record in Knack to track the file. Slack then sends a public channel message to alert the team about the new file.
