Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Knack, Harvest, 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 Harvest integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Knack and Harvest (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 Harvest
Knack + Harvest + Slack: When a Knack record is updated, specifically when a project status changes, a corresponding Harvest project is created if it doesn't exist, or updated if it does. A Slack message is then sent to a designated channel to notify the team about the project status change.
Harvest + Knack + Google Sheets: When a new time entry is created in Harvest, the details are logged as a new record in a Knack database. Subsequently, the total billable hours are calculated and summarized weekly in a Google Sheet.
