Save and Activate the Scenario

After configuring Knack, ConvertAPI, 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 β€œRun once” and triggering an event to check if the Knack and ConvertAPI integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Knack and ConvertAPI (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 ConvertAPI

Knack + ConvertAPI + Google Drive: When a new record is created in Knack, a document is generated using ConvertAPI. The converted document is then archived in Google Drive.

ConvertAPI + Knack + Airtable: When a file is converted using ConvertAPI, the conversion details, along with a link to the source Knack record, are logged into an Airtable base for tracking purposes.
