Amazing Product With Exceptional Support from the team. By using Knit we managed to speed up our development by orders of magnitude.

Seamless integration experience. Well-documented, self-explanatory APIs, and excellent service and support.
Easy to integrate. Knit's dashboard is intuitive for setting up and testing integrations, and the sandbox is extremely useful during development.
Knit shipped a brand-new Timesheet API in a week and handed us a ready-to-use NetSuite sandbox. That velocity is priceless when you're running payroll in 40+ countries.

Common questions about Zendesk + Slack
Is there a pre-built Zendesk + Slack automation?
Yes — see the real automations above, already live on Knit. The Agent can also build a custom one if what you need isn't listed.
Does this require a pre-built Zendesk or Slack connector?
No. The Agent works whether or not Zendesk or Slack already has a pre-built connector in Knit's catalog — it researches the real API surface either way.
How long does it take to build?
Minutes to build a first working version, not weeks — you test it against real data before it goes anywhere near production.
Can internal messages in team channels become support tickets?
Yes, mentioning team members or posting specific messages in Slack can automatically create a ticket in Zendesk to ensure issues are tracked and resolved.
How are teams notified when ticket deadlines are at risk?
When an SLA deadline is breached in Zendesk, an urgent message is posted into a channel in Slack to alert engineers or managers immediately.
