# Knack integrations: records and assets

> Create a record and upload a file in Knack. Connect Knack to the rest of your data and analytics stack with Tray.ai.

**Canonical page:** https://tray.ai/connectors/knack-integrations/
**Categories:** Data and analytics
**Connects through:** HTTP Connector

## Overview

Knack is a no-code platform for building online databases and business apps, with tables of records, forms, and user logins. Tray.ai connects to Knack through the HTTP Connector, so your workflows can call the Knack API alongside the rest of your stack.

## Use cases

### Records

Read, create, update, and delete records in Knack from any Tray.ai workflow. The Knack API covers calls such as list records and get a record.

- List records
- Get a record
- Create a record

### Assets

Create assets in Knack from any Tray.ai workflow. The Knack API covers calls such as upload a file and upload an image.

- Upload a file
- Upload an image

## Challenges Tray.ai solves

### Keeping Knack credentials out of logs

A raw API call usually means pasting a key or token into the request, where it ends up in step inputs, logs, and screenshots.

**How Tray.ai helps:** Store Knack credentials once as a Tray.ai authentication and reference them from the HTTP Connector. Tray.ai masks authentication values in logs, so the secret never shows up in a step's input or output.

### Going from the Knack API docs to a working call

Translating an example request from API docs into a workflow step means copying the method, URL, headers, and body by hand.

**How Tray.ai helps:** Paste a cURL example from the Knack API docs into the HTTP Connector and Tray.ai fills in the method, URL, headers, and body for you.

### Handling files and non-JSON responses

Not every API answers in JSON. Some return XML, files, or binary data, or expect a multipart upload.

**How Tray.ai helps:** The HTTP Connector parses JSON and XML responses, returns files you can pass to the next step, and sends multipart form data for uploads.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does Tray.ai connect to Knack?

Yes. Tray.ai connects to Knack through the HTTP Connector, which calls the Knack API directly. Any call the Knack API documents can run as a step in a Tray.ai workflow.

### How does Tray.ai authenticate with Knack?

The Knack API uses an API key in a request header. You save it once as a Tray.ai authentication, and the HTTP Connector adds it to every request.

### Can I get a dedicated Knack connector?

Knack runs through the HTTP Connector rather than a dedicated connector. If your team wants one, the Tray.ai connector SDK can build a dedicated Knack connector from the Knack API.
