FAQ

Common questions

Can Knit build “Update project tasks when database records change” between Approval Donkey and SQL Server?

Yes — describe it in the box above and Knit's Integrations Agent researches Approval Donkey and SQL Server's public API docs (or your own uploaded docs) and builds a working workflow, whether or not either app already has a pre-built connector.

How long does it take to build?

Minutes to a first working version, not weeks — you test it against real data before it goes anywhere near production.

What's the most common Databases & Warehouses + Project Management automation?

Syncing tasks, status changes, and timestamps from Approval Donkey into SQL Server continuously, so velocity and cycle-time reporting doesn't depend on the project tool's own dashboards.

Does this capture historical data, or only new activity going forward?

The Agent can backfill existing Approval Donkey records into SQL Server on first setup, then keep syncing new activity from that point forward.
