FAQ

Common questions

Can Knit build “Create calendar reminders for high-priority social comments” between Hootsuite and Google Calendar?

Yes — describe it in the box above and Knit's Integrations Agent researches Hootsuite and Google Calendar'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 calendar events automatically create social posts?

Yes, when a new event or product launch is scheduled in Google Calendar, a corresponding promotional post can be queued automatically in Hootsuite.

How do I handle publishing errors on social channels?

If a post fails to publish in Hootsuite, an event or task can be added to Google Calendar so team members can investigate and reschedule.
