Common questions
Can Knit build “When new data or files are added to Dropbox, sync and update the corresponding dataset in ClicData for reporting.” between ClicData and Dropbox?
Yes — describe it in the box above and Knit's Integrations Agent researches ClicData and Dropbox'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.
Can scheduled analytics reports be backed up in cloud storage?
Yes, as soon as a report is generated in ClicData, it can be uploaded directly to designated storage folders in Dropbox for compliance and archiving.
How do dashboard updates work when source files are added?
When new data sheets or files are uploaded to Dropbox, ClicData detects the addition and automatically initiates a dashboard refresh to reflect updated metrics.
