FAQ

Common questions

Can Knit build “Send email updates when new projects are created” between Protiv and Gmail?

Yes — describe it in the box above and Knit's Integrations Agent researches Protiv and Gmail'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.

How does integrating Protiv with Gmail improve billable hours?

It helps teams turn incoming client communications into billable time records and keeps clients informed about project activity automatically.

Can incoming emails start timers or create work logs?

Yes, receiving specific client messages in Gmail can automatically log time entries or create new client profiles in Protiv.
