Flows - basic usage instructions

Here’s an introduction on how to use Knack flows (aka automations/integrations).

As of November 2024, flows is available in preview / beta to a limited number of users. This means that we expect that there’ll be bugs to iron out and improvements to make.

For those lucky enough to have early access, I hope this video helps you get started. Remember to report any bugs or feedback to Knack support :slight_smile:

The video demonstrates how to create 2 basic flows:

  1. Create a record every 5 minutes
  2. Delete unneeded records daily

It also demonstrates some current bugs you might get stuck on (although we’ll expect to see these get fixed over the coming months)

Hi Callum

Thank you for the enlightening video.

Would I be correct in believing we could use Knack Flows to routinely archive records, like we have just manually done using your Log video as a starting point, and then delete those records that have been archived and marked as archived?

Hi Dean,

My pleasure. I’m glad it was helpful.

Yes that would likely be possible. It would take a bit of working out but sounds reasonably straightforward

Thanks Cary! I’m glad you found my channel helpful. Let me know if you have suggestions for any further videos you’d like to see
