How Knack Flows Work

Connect ActiveCampaign with Knack using Knack Flows to unify your CRM, email marketing, SMS messaging, and deal management workflows inside a structured, no-code application. This integration allows you to automatically sync contacts, accounts, deals, tasks, and campaign engagement data between systems. Capture marketing activity in Knack dashboards, trigger automations when users engage with campaigns, manage deal pipelines, and keep contact records perfectly aligned across platforms. Whether you’re managing sales pipelines, lead nurturing, SMS campaigns, or customer lifecycle automation, Knack helps transform ActiveCampaign activity into organized, actionable workflows.

Select a Trigger

Step 1: Select a Trigger

A trigger is an event that starts your automation workflow. In an ActiveCampaign and Knack integration, triggers can originate in ActiveCampaign, such as when a new contact is created, a deal is updated, a campaign link is clicked, an SMS is sent, or a contact unsubscribes. Triggers can also start in Knack when a new record is created, a customer reaches a lifecycle milestone, or a record matches a condition.

Add an Action to the Flow

Step 2: Set up an Action in Knack

Once a trigger occurs, actions define what happens next in your Flow. In Knack, actions may include creating or updating CRM records, assigning internal tasks, tagging contacts, logging engagement history, or sending alerts. In ActiveCampaign, actions include adding contacts to automations, creating or updating deals, adding notes, updating list status, applying tags, creating tasks, and triggering tracked events. You can map fields between platforms and apply conditional logic for personalized, rules-based automation.

Add More Actions and Automate

Step 3: Connect and Automate

After your Flow is configured, activate it immediately or expand it with additional steps. Your ActiveCampaign and Knack systems are now fully connected. Marketing engagement, CRM activity, and deal pipeline updates can automatically trigger structured business logic inside Knack, ensuring your sales and marketing teams operate from a centralized, synchronized data foundation.
