How Knack Flows Works

Connect Elementor and Knack to create dynamic, data-driven websites without custom development. Use Knack as the backend database powering your Elementor designs while automating workflows and syncing user activity in real time. With this integration, you can embed Knack-powered forms, directories, dashboards, and portals into Elementor pages, display live data inside custom layouts, and trigger workflows from user interactions. Elementor handles the visual design experience, while Knack manages your data, logic, and automation, giving you full control over both presentation and functionality.

Step 1: Select a Trigger

A trigger is an event that starts your workflow. In the Elementor and Knack integration, triggers can start with website activity, such as a visitor submitting a form, registering an account, updating their profile, or interacting with Knack-powered content that’s embedded within an Elementor page. Knack monitors these events to initiate automated Flows.

Step 2: Set up an Action

Once a trigger occurs, actions execute the tasks inside your Flow. These actions may include creating or updating records in Knack, assigning user roles, sending notifications, or syncing updated data back to your website. You can use conditional logic to control how user actions on Elementor pages affect your Knack database and workflows.

Step 3: Connect and Automate

When your Flow is ready, you can activate it immediately or expand it over time. Your Elementor site and Knack app are now fully connected. Every form submission, record update, or user interaction can automatically update your database, trigger workflows, and refresh dynamic content, creating rich, interactive website experiences without writing code.
