Knack **1** trigger Knack **11** actions PandaDoc **3** triggers PandaDoc **19** actions 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 PandaDoc 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. [Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) If your team tracks deals or client work in Knack and sends quotes and contracts through PandaDoc, joining the two means record changes in Knack can start documents in PandaDoc, and signed documents can write back to the Knack record they belong to. The agent builds the flow, tests every scenario with your own objects and templates, and keeps it running. Example flows ## What Knack and PandaDoc can do together ### From Knack to PandaDoc - When **New View Record** in Knack then **Create contact** in PandaDoc - When **New View Record** in Knack then **Update contact** in PandaDoc ### From PandaDoc to Knack - When **Document completed** in PandaDoc then **Create Record** in Knack - When **Document updated** in PandaDoc then **Update Record** in Knack Starting points drawn from the triggers and actions in the catalog today. Describe the flow you need, at any depth, and your agent builds it and tests every scenario before it ships. Everything your agent can do with Knack and PandaDoc ## Triggers and actions 4 triggers · 30 actions - Trigger **New View Record** Fires when a new record appears in a Knack page view — polls a view's records (respects the view's access control and filters), the view-based counterpart to New Record. - Action **Create Record** Add a new record to a Knack object.

Yes. After a document reaches completed status, the agent can download the document PDF from PandaDoc and use Knack's upload file or image action to attach it to a field on the matching record. ### ### How do you find the right Knack record for a completed document? The agent reads the entered fields and tokens from the PandaDoc document, then uses list records in Knack with a filter on a value such as the quote number or contact email. If no record matches, the update is skipped rather than creating a duplicate. ### ### 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 PandaDoc when something happens in Knack? Any of PandaDoc's 19 actions, including Create contact, Create document from template, Get document entered data and Create document link. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from PandaDoc to Knack? Yes. When something happens in PandaDoc, your agent can act in Knack too. This page covers both directions: PandaDoc's triggers and Knack's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Knack or PandaDoc? 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 PandaDoc 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.
