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

- 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.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Knack, Google Forms, 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 Google Forms integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Knack and Google Forms (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 Google Forms
Google Forms + Knack + Slack: When a new form is submitted in Google Forms, a new record is created in Knack. Then, a message is sent to a Slack channel notifying the team about the new Knack record.
Google Forms + Knack + Google Sheets: A new submission in Google Forms triggers the creation of a new record in Knack. Once the Knack record is created, a new row is added to a Google Sheet to track form submissions.
