How to connect Knack and Circle
Create a New Scenario to Connect Knack and Circle
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 Circle will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Knack or Circle, 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, Circle, 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 Circle integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Knack and Circle (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 Circle
Knack + Circle + Slack: When a new record is created in Knack, a post is created in the Circle community and a notification is sent to a Slack channel.
Circle + Knack + Airtable: When a new member joins a Circle community, their information is added as a new record to a Knack database. Airtable then lists these records in a view for weekly summaries.
