Questions
DonorPerfect and Knack, answered
Can a record created in a Knack app become a gift in DonorPerfect without knowing the donor ID?
Yes. The New View Record trigger in Knack can feed the Add new donor gift by email action in DonorPerfect, which matches on the donor's email address. If no donor with that email is found, the gift is not added.
How does the agent find the matching Knack record for a DonorPerfect donor?
It uses List Records or List View Records with a filter on a field such as email or donor ID, then Update Record on the one it finds. You tell the agent which object and field to match on, and it tests each scenario before it runs.
What can start an automation from DonorPerfect?
Any of DonorPerfect's 6 triggers in the catalog, including New donor, New gift, New or updated donor and New or updated gift. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Knack when something happens in DonorPerfect?
Any of Knack's 11 actions, including Create Record, Update View Record, Create View Record and Update Record. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Knack to DonorPerfect?
Yes. When something happens in Knack, your agent can act in DonorPerfect too. This page covers both directions: Knack's triggers and DonorPerfect's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for DonorPerfect 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 DonorPerfect 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.
