Latenode

Automatically create Knack records from external data webhooks

This template receives data on a Latenode webhook, maps the payload in JavaScript, and creates a record in your Knack app.

JavaScript calls the Knack API with the object id and field values. Put the Knack API key in that JavaScript node. Paste the webhook URL into the system that sends events, then test with one payload.

How Latenode estimates time and cost

Latenode bills workflow runtime in CPU seconds. The first 10,000 CPU seconds are free each month, then usage follows pay-as-you-go CPU-second pricing. Plug-and-Play (PnP) AI nodes are billed separately—each PnP token is $1 USD, charged pay-as-you-go at vendor cost plus a small processing fee, with no API keys required.

What this template does

  • Turns inbound webhook data into Knack records
  • Maps fields in JavaScript before the create call
  • Calls the Knack API from that JavaScript node
  • Keeps the Knack API key in the JavaScript node

How it works

1
Trigger

Receive the webhook

The scenario starts when an external system POSTs JSON to the Latenode webhook.

2
Logic

Map the fields

JavaScript reads the payload and builds the Knack field object for the record type you use.

3
Action

Create the Knack record

JavaScript calls the Knack API to create the record. Put the Knack API key in that JavaScript node.

Setup guide

1

Add the webhook

Add a webhook trigger and copy its URL into the external app that should send new records.

2

Store the Knack key

Add a JavaScript node and put your Knack API key there, with the application id and object id from Knack.

3

Map and create

In that JavaScript node, map webhook fields onto Knack field keys and POST a create-record call. Send a test payload and open the new Knack row.

Requirements

An external system that can POST to a Latenode webhook
A Knack application and object that should receive records
A Knack API key stored in the JavaScript node

Each run uses credits on your Latenode plan. We charge for processing time (1 credit = 30 seconds). Your actual cost depends on your plan and how long the run takes. See pricing plans for plans and how credits work.
