How Knit builds this workflow
The Agent researches both APIs and wires the trigger on one side to the action on the other — no pre-built connector required. Here is the vocabulary it has to work with.

Common questions
Can Knit build “Create project brief templates when new tasks launch” between Diffbot and Basecamp?
Yes — describe it in the box above and Knit's Integrations Agent researches Diffbot and Basecamp'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 Productivity & Docs + Project Management automation?
Creating a linked doc or page in Diffbot whenever a new task is created in Basecamp, or creating a follow-up task in Basecamp when a doc in Diffbot is marked ready.
Can this link back and forth, not just one direction?
Yes — the Agent can keep a two-way reference between the Diffbot doc and the Basecamp task so either side links straight to the other.
