Common questions
Can Knit build “Send dashboard alerts when warehouse records are updated” between xConnect and MySQL?
Yes — describe it in the box above and Knit's Integrations Agent researches xConnect and MySQL'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 new database entries in MySQL automatically update my dashboards in xConnect?
Yes, whenever new rows are inserted or query results are ready in MySQL, you can automatically refresh dashboards in xConnect.
How does xConnect write reporting metrics back to MySQL?
When key business thresholds are crossed in xConnect, the system can insert or update rows in MySQL to maintain central data records.
