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 a task for each incident” between elmah.io and Basecamp?
Yes — describe it in the box above and Knit's Integrations Agent researches elmah.io 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.
Why send incidents to a project management tool?
The alert is handled in elmah.io, but the follow-up work lives in Basecamp. Creating tasks automatically keeps that work visible and assigned.
Can I track action items from each incident?
Yes. When an incident is resolved in elmah.io, create a task in Basecamp for the review and any follow-up actions.
