Joining them lets a new CNBC story land as a record in the right Knack object, and lets a new Knack record pull the CNBC stories for its category or search text. The agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running.

Yes. On a new CNBC top story the agent can list records from your Knack watchlist object and check for a matching company before writing anything, so unrelated stories are skipped. When there is a match it creates the story record and can update the company record too. ### ### Can new Knack records pull news automatically? Yes. The new view record trigger in Knack can fire the CNBC top stories action for a chosen news category, with optional search text such as the company name from the record. What comes back can then be written into Knack with create record or update record. ### ### What can start an automation from CNBC? Any of CNBC's 1 trigger in the catalog, including New Top Story. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Knack when something happens in CNBC? Any of Knack's 11 actions, including Create Record, Create View Record, List Records and Update Record. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Knack to CNBC? Yes. When something happens in Knack, your agent can act in CNBC too. This page covers both directions: Knack's triggers and CNBC's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for CNBC or Knack? No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. ### ### Can my AI client use CNBC and Knack without building an automation? Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in either app once and it runs that action on the spot. Ask for an automation and your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. One connection covers both. ### ### What happens when something fails? Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Is there a free plan? Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
