How Knack Flows Works

Connect WordPress and Knack to add dynamic functionality to your website. Integrate databases with your site and set up AI-enabled workflows. With this integration, you can embed Knack database functionality directly into WordPress pages, sync user activities between systems, and automate updates without custom development work. Use Knack as the backend database for your WordPress site to manage forms, directories, memberships, dashboards, user-generated content, and more. Create powerful workflows that keep your website content, records, and user interactions up to date while maintaining full control through Knack’s no-code, AI-powered app builder.

Step 1: Select a Trigger

A trigger is an event that starts your workflow. In a WordPress and Knack integration, triggers often begin with actions, such as a visitor submitting a form, creating an account, updating a profile, or interacting with embedded Knack content on your site. 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 might include creating or updating records in Knack, assigning user roles, sending notifications, or syncing data back to WordPress. You can define how WordPress activity impacts your Knack database using conditional logic and multi-step automations.

Step 3: Connect and Automate

When your Flow is ready, you can activate it immediately or add additional actions over time. Your WordPress site and Knack app are now fully connected. Every form submission, content update, or user interaction can automatically update records, trigger workflows, and power dynamic website experiences, all without writing any code.
