Connect Knack and Nytimes
When New View Record fires in Knack, your agent runs Find articles by criteria in Nytimes, or New top story in Nytimes to Create Record in Knack. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.
What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.
Build solutions, not workarounds.
