About this integration

Connect Knack to Definable to automate repetitive tasks, sync data with the rest of your stack, trigger on real-world events. Personas call Knack's 10 tools directly from chat or scheduled flows. You can wire it into any persona to read, write, and react when an event fires.

Connect Knack to Definable and it becomes a set of typed tools your agents plan with — triggered by events, run on schedules, or invoked mid-conversation. Every write is checked by the verifier before it lands.

└ Take an action with the linked tool

Daily summary

│ Pull yesterday's activity

│ Summarise with the model of your choice

└ Send the digest via email or Slack

Cross-tool sync

│ Read records from one app

│ Transform with a persona

└ Write the result back via this integration

10 tools available

The Knack toolbox.

Every Knack capability your agents can call, each with a typed schema the planner reads. The router picks the right tool per step; the verifier checks the result.

What teams ask before connecting Knack.

01 What can I automate with Knack on Definable?

Personas can call any of the 10 Knack tools directly, then chain the result into another integration without you writing code.

02 How does Knack authentication work?

Knack uses API_KEY on Definable. You connect once from the integrations page, scoped to the permissions you choose, and from then on any persona that has the integration enabled can act on your behalf. Tokens are encrypted at rest and rotated automatically.

03 Is the Knack integration included in my Definable plan?

Yes — every Definable plan, including Starter, includes access to all 10 Knack tools. You only need a separate Knack subscription if Knack itself charges per seat or per API call.

04 Is using Knack through Definable secure?

Every call from a persona to Knack is logged with the user, persona, prompt, and response. Tokens never leave Definable's secrets vault, scopes are configurable per persona, and you can revoke access at any time from the integration page.

06 What Knack actions does Definable expose?

Definable exposes all 10 Knack actions as callable tools — including `Create object record`, `Create View Record`, `Delete Object Record`, plus 7 more. Each tool gets a typed parameter schema so personas know exactly how to call it.
