Developer Tools & IT

What the Knack connector can do

Teams use Knack to build custom web apps and databases without writing code. A type.com Space connected to Knack can have Claude create or fetch a record in a database object, add a record through a form view, or delete records that are no longer needed.

One connection, many Spaces

Connect Knack once, then decide which Spaces can use it in threads, skills, automations, and coding work.

FAQ

Questions people ask before connecting Knack

What can Claude do with Knack in type.com?

With a Knack connection, Claude can create, fetch, and delete records in objects and form views, all from a shared type.com thread.

How do I connect Knack to type.com?

Knack uses an API key. An admin adds it once to the connection and controls which Spaces can use it.

Can type.com manage Knack records on a schedule?

Yes. Turn a recurring task, like cleaning up stale records weekly, into a type.com automation that reports what it changed to a channel.
