Common questions
Can Knit build “Create draft CMS items when media assets are uploaded” between Netlify and SimpleBackups?
Yes — describe it in the box above and Knit's Integrations Agent researches Netlify and SimpleBackups'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 Files & Storage + Website & CMS automation?
Publishing a new file from SimpleBackups directly into a page or media library in Netlify, so content and assets stay in sync without a manual upload step.
Does this handle file replacements, or only brand-new uploads?
The Agent can also update an existing page's asset in Netlify when the source file in SimpleBackups is replaced, not just handle new uploads.
