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 “Sync recorded accounting expenses back to your expense manager” between Mercury and Xero?
Yes — describe it in the box above and Knit's Integrations Agent researches Mercury and Xero'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 Accounting + Expense Management automation?
Creating a bill or journal entry in Xero the moment an expense is approved in Mercury, with the receipt and category carried over automatically.
Does this only fire on approved expenses, not every submission?
Yes — the Agent can be scoped to only act once an expense clears Mercury's own approval flow, so unreviewed submissions never hit the books.
