How Knit builds this workflow

FAQ

Common questions

Can Knit build “Send SMS notifications when documents are shared” between Dropbox and Protexting?

Yes — describe it in the box above and Knit's Integrations Agent researches Dropbox and Protexting'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 I automatically text clients when a file or document is shared with them?

Yes, whenever a new file is uploaded or shared in Dropbox, you can send an automated SMS alert from Protexting with access information.

How are phone interactions saved into cloud storage?

Automations can save call recordings or incoming media files directly into designated folders in Dropbox as soon as calls finish in Protexting.
