Integration
Connect Knack and Salesforce
When New View Record fires in Knack, your agent runs Create object record in Salesforce, or New object record in Salesforce 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.
What do you want Knack and Salesforce to do together?
Ask the assistant
Connect your AI client
Give your AI client this address.
https://mcp.apiant.aiOne 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.aiStart Claude Code there, approve the server, and sign in in the browser page it opens.
Claude Code guide (opens in a new tab)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)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)Zed
Open Settings, then AI, then MCP Servers, then Add Server, then Add Remote Server.
Setup guide (opens in a new tab)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)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)Salesforce holds the accounts, contacts and deals; Knack holds the custom database your team built around them. Connecting the two means a new record in Salesforce can create or update the matching Knack record, and a record that shows up in a Knack view can be written back into Salesforce without anyone retyping it.

Everything your agent can do with Knack and Salesforce
Triggers and actions 3 triggers · 20 actions

Deletes an existing SObject record by object type and record ID.
- Describe object
Returns the full field and metadata description (describe) for an SObject type — useful for discovering available fields and their API names.
- Find most recent created or updated record
Returns the single most recently created or last-modified record for the specified SObject type (ordered by SystemModstamp DESC, LIMIT 1).
- Find object records
Finds matching records for an SObject type by a field/value equality match via SOQL. Returns Id and the requested fields for all matches.

Executes a SOQL query against the org and returns matching records. Example: SELECT Id, Name FROM Account WHERE CreatedDate = TODAY.

No trigger or action matches that. Ask your agent to add it: it reads the API documentation and builds what you describe.

Questions
Knack and Salesforce, answered
Will a change to a Salesforce record reach Knack, or only brand new records?
Both. Salesforce can trigger on new records of an object type or on records that were created or modified, and from there the agent can create, update or delete the matching record in Knack.
How does the agent know which Knack record matches a Salesforce record?
It looks the record up first, using List Records or List View Records in Knack with a filter on the field you match on, such as an email address or account name. If nothing comes back, you decide whether it creates a new Knack record or stops there.
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 Salesforce when something happens in Knack?
Any of Salesforce's 9 actions, including Create object record, Find object records, Find most recent created or updated record and Update object record. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Salesforce to Knack?
Yes. When something happens in Salesforce, your agent can act in Knack too. This page covers both directions: Salesforce's triggers and Knack's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Knack or Salesforce?
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 Salesforce 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.
