Integration
Connect Knack and Shape
When New View Record fires in Knack, your agent runs Create Record in Shape, or New Record in Shape 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.

Questions
Knack and Shape, answered
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 Shape when something happens in Knack?
Any of Shape's 10 actions, including Create Record, Update Record, Find Record and Get Prioritized View Count. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Shape to Knack?
Yes. When something happens in Shape, your agent can act in Knack too. This page covers both directions: Shape's triggers and Knack's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Knack or Shape?
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 Shape 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.
