# Connect Knack and PagerDuty

When **New View Record** fires in [Knack](https://apiant.ai/connections/knack), your agent runs **Create Note on Incident** in [PagerDuty](https://apiant.ai/connections/pagerduty), or **List Maintenance Windows** in PagerDuty 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.

## What do you want Knack and PagerDuty to do together?

Give your AI client this address.

`https://mcp.apiant.ai`

One connection does both: ask your client to act in an app once, or have it build an automation that keeps running. Any client that takes a remote MCP server. Nothing to install. Create your free account, then sign in once in your browser.

### Set it up in your client

### Claude Code

Run this in the directory you want to work in.

`claude mcp add --transport http -s project apiant-ai https://mcp.apiant.ai`

Start Claude Code there, approve the server, and sign in in the browser page it opens.

[Claude Code guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp/claude-code)

### Claude, web and desktop

Open Customize, then Connectors, then Add custom connector, and paste the address. On Team and Enterprise an owner adds it first.

[Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp)

### Cursor

Add the address to your MCP configuration as a server URL. Cursor signs you in in your browser.

[Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp)

### Zed

Open Settings, then AI, then MCP Servers, then Add Server, then Add Remote Server.

[Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp)

### Codex and the ChatGPT desktop app

Open Settings, then MCP servers, then Add server, and choose Streamable HTTP. From the terminal, Codex takes the address with its own add command and then signs you in.

[Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp)

### Any other MCP client

Paste the address where the client asks for a remote MCP server URL, and name the server apiant-ai where it lets you. APIANT's skills reach the client over the same connection.

Knack holds your operational records — sites, equipment, customers, work orders — while PagerDuty holds incidents and on-call schedules. Connecting them lets a new Knack record raise a PagerDuty incident, and lets a new PagerDuty incident write an outage row back into Knack with the service and responder details already filled in.

Questions

## Knack and PagerDuty, answered

###

### Can a record added by a customer in a Knack page view raise an incident in PagerDuty?

Yes. The New View Record trigger polls a view and respects that view's filters and access control, so only records a customer can actually submit come through, and each one can run Create Incident in PagerDuty.

###

### Can we write PagerDuty incident details back into an existing Knack record instead of making a new one?

Yes. List Records or Get Record finds the matching Knack row, then Update Record writes the incident id, service name or status onto it. If no match is found, the scenario can fall back to Create Record instead.

###

### What can start an automation from Knack?

Any of Knack's 1 trigger in the catalog, including New View Record. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.

###

### What can your agent do in PagerDuty when something happens in Knack?

Any of PagerDuty's 26 actions, including Add Responders, Create Incident, Get Service and Create Note on Incident. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.

###

### Can it also run from PagerDuty to Knack?

Yes. When something happens in PagerDuty, your agent can act in Knack too. This page covers both directions: PagerDuty's triggers and Knack's actions are listed here as well.

###

### Do I have to build a connector for Knack or PagerDuty?

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 Knack and PagerDuty 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.
