Knack

Add Knack to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.

Embed a Knack integration so your customers can work the records in their own Knack app from inside your product. Every Knack app has a different object model, so object and field mapping is configuration per customer rather than code, and a schema change on their side is a mapping update rather than a release on yours. fastn handles per-customer authentication, pagination and API upkeep.

In your product

Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, no per-customer code, maintained by fastn.

Let customers connect their own Knack app so your product reads the records they already keep there.

Create and update records so users do not switch between your product and Knack.

Read the objects and fields in an app at runtime so your product adapts to each customer's schema.

Filter records by field values so your product pulls only what it needs from a large table.

For your AI agents

Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.

An agent reads records from a customer's app before answering a question.

An agent creates or updates a record within governed permissions, with each write audited.

An agent inspects an object's fields first, so it maps values correctly rather than guessing.

Example prompt

Find records in the intake object with no owner set and created more than three days ago.

Set up Knack in 4 steps

  1. 01Open the Knack connector from your fastn dashboard.
  2. 02Have each customer authenticate their own Knack app.
  3. 03Map the objects and fields your product uses, then enable actions.
  4. 04Call them from your product, or expose them to an agent through the MCP server.

Why teams use the Knack integration

What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.

  • Ship a Knack integration without building it. Your customers connect their own Knack account inside your product and work their records, datasets and fields there, with no per-customer code on your side.
  • Handle the part that actually costs time: schemas differ per customer and change without notice, and volumes can be large. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so a Knack update is not your on-call problem.
  • One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed Knack connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you read and write your customers' data where it already lives without wiring it twice.

Knack integration FAQ

How do I add a Knack integration to my product?

Enable the Knack connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own Knack account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no Knack client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.

Do my customers each connect their own Knack account?

Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own Knack account and only ever sees their own records, datasets and fields. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.

Can AI agents use this Knack integration?

Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent reads records from a customer's app before answering a question.

Who maintains the Knack integration?

fastn does. When Knack changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.

Does the Knack integration adapt when a customer's schema changes?

Schema and field mapping is configuration per customer, so a change on their side is a mapping update rather than a code change and a release on yours.

How are large Knack reads handled?

Pagination and throttling are handled for you, and initial backfills are rate-limited so a large import does not exhaust a customer's API allowance.

What can I build with the Knack integration?

A common starting point: connect their own Knack app so your product reads the records they already keep there. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.

How much does the Knack integration cost?

It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding Knack does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
