How to connect Knack and Formstack
Create a New Scenario to Connect Knack and Formstack
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 Formstack will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Knack or Formstack, 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.

Authenticate Formstack
Now, click the Formstack node and select the connection option. This can be an OAuth2 connection or an API key, which you can obtain in your Formstack settings. Authentication allows you to use Formstack through Latenode.
Configure the Knack and Formstack Nodes
Next, configure the nodes by filling in the required parameters according to your logic. Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are mandatory.
Set Up the Knack and Formstack Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Knack, Formstack, 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 Formstack integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Knack and Formstack (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 Formstack
Formstack + Knack + Slack: Upon a new submission in Formstack, a new record is created in Knack. A message is then sent to a designated Slack channel to notify the team of the new submission.
Formstack + Knack + Google Sheets: When a new form is submitted in Formstack, the submission data is used to update a record in Knack and is then added as a new row in a Google Sheet for analysis.
