Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Microsoft Outlook, Knack, 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 Microsoft Outlook and Knack integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Microsoft Outlook and Knack (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Microsoft Outlook and Knack
Microsoft Outlook + Knack + Slack: When a new email arrives in Outlook, the subject and body are checked for project names. If a match is found, Knack either creates a new record or updates an existing one. A Slack message is then sent to the project team, notifying them of the new email and Knack record update.
Knack + Microsoft Outlook + Google Calendar: When a new record (task) is created in Knack, an email reminder is scheduled in Outlook. Simultaneously, the task is added as an event to Google Calendar, ensuring the task is visible in both the user's email and calendar.
