How Knack Flows Works

Connect Google Forms to Knack using Flows to automate data collection, sync submissions instantly, and streamline form-driven operations without writing a line of code. This integration lets you capture Google Forms responses and feed them directly into your Knack app in real time. Create records, enrich data, trigger notifications, assign tasks, update workflows, and orchestrate next steps using Knack’s AI-powered automation tools. With Google Forms and Knack working together, you can power everything from lead intake and event registrations to surveys, hiring pipelines, volunteer applications, and more — all managed from your custom Knack dashboard.

Select a Trigger

Step 1: Select a Trigger

A trigger is an event that starts your workflow. Google Forms or Knack can each initiate a Flow depending on your setup. For example, you might choose a “New Form Response” in Google Forms or “New Record Created” in Knack. Knack monitors Google Forms for new submissions, and Google Forms can be paired with Knack via webhooks or connected services to send data directly into Knack the moment it arrives.

Add an Action to the Flow

Step 1: Select a Trigger

Once a Trigger occurs, actions execute the tasks within your Flow. In Knack, actions can create records, update fields, send alerts, or route data to the correct team. A Flow may contain one action or a full sequence with conditions and branching logic. For example, you could “Create a Knack Record” when a new Google Forms submission is received, then use additional steps to assign leads, categorize responses, or trigger automated follow-up workflows.

Add More Actions and Automate

Title Step 3: Connect and Automate

After your Flow is configured, you can add more automation steps or run it right away. Your Google Forms and Knack apps are now fully connected. Sync form data instantly into your Knack databases, automate review processes, trigger downstream workflows, and build live dashboards — all from your AI-powered Knack environment.
