Common questions
Can Knit build “Convert escalated support tickets into development tasks” between Basecamp and Drift?
Yes — describe it in the box above and Knit's Integrations Agent researches Basecamp and Drift'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.

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 Project Management + Ticketing automation?
Creating a task in Basecamp whenever a ticket in Drift is escalated or tagged as a bug, with a two-way status sync so support sees engineering progress without leaving Drift.
Can status updates flow back to the original ticket?
Yes — when the linked task in Basecamp changes status, the Agent can post that update back onto the original ticket in Drift automatically.
