Both sides stay readable: Knack keeps the record of truth, Teamwork keeps the work.

The New View Record trigger in Knack polls a page view, so it only picks up records that pass that view's filters and permissions. From there the agent can call Teamwork actions such as Create Project, Create Task List, Create Task or Add Milestone with fields taken from the record. ### ### 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 Teamwork when something happens in Knack? Any of Teamwork's 22 actions, including Add Milestone, Create Task, List Projects and Create Project. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Teamwork to Knack? Yes. When something happens in Teamwork, your agent can act in Knack too. This page covers both directions: Teamwork's triggers and Knack's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Knack or Teamwork? 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 Teamwork 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.
