How Knack Flows Works
Connect Notion with Knack using Flows to sync pages, databases, and tasks with your custom AI-powered applications. Automate project workflows, turn unstructured notes into structured records, and bridge collaborative workspaces with powerful business logic—no coding required. This integration lets you log Notion updates into Knack, create Notion pages from Knack records, streamline project and content pipelines, and synchronize team tasks across systems. Build dashboards, trigger automations, track deliverables, and manage end-to-end operations from within your custom Knack portal while your team collaborates in Notion.
Step 1: Select a Trigger
A trigger is an event that starts your Flow. Notion or Knack can each initiate workflows depending on how you set up the integration. For instance, you might choose a Notion event like “Database Item Created,” or a Knack event such as “New Record Submitted.” Knack can monitor Notion API activity, and Notion can respond to updates pushed from Knack.
Step 2: Set up an Action in Knack
Once a trigger fires, actions execute tasks inside your Flow. In Knack, actions might include creating or updating structured records, sending notifications, or enriching project data. In Notion, actions can create pages, update database items, append content blocks, or change task statuses. A Flow can run a single action or an entire automated multi-step sequence with conditions and logic.
Title Step 3: Connect and Automate
When your Knack Flow is ready, you can run it immediately or continue adding additional steps. Your Notion and Knack environments are now seamlessly connected. Automatically sync tasks, content, notes, and project updates between Notion and Knack, build structured business processes from collaborative Notion workspaces, and manage operational workflows at scale — all from your custom Knack application.

Top Use Cases for Integrating Knack with Notion
Structured Data Syncing for Collaborative Workspaces
Turn Notion’s notes, meeting summaries, and brainstorming docs into structured Knack records automatically. Build CRM entries, project tickets, deliverables, or operational workflows directly from Notion content.
Project and Task Automation Across Systems
Sync Notion tasks into Knack pipelines to automate assignments, due dates, notifications, and workflow logic. Keep collaboration in Notion while Knack handles process automation, dependencies, and approvals.
Content and Knowledge Management Workflows
Use Knack to organize content calendars, approval steps, and production workflows, while teams draft, research, and collaborate in Notion. Sync statuses, contributors, and timelines between platforms.
Client Portals and Secure Data Layers
Push sanitized workspace data from Notion into secure Knack portals. Knack’s role-based access, field permissions, and granular privacy controls let you share structured updates with clients—something Notion cannot natively support.
Form, Intake, and Operational Automations
Use Knack forms to collect data, then push updates into Notion pages or databases for team collaboration. Or reverse the workflow by capturing ideas, requests, and tasks in Notion and sending them into Knack for automated processing.
Triggers and Actions
Knack Flows help you automate workflows by connecting your data and actions. A trigger starts a workflow, and an action executes a task based on the trigger.
