Build Knock forms with Paperform

Knock is a notification infrastructure platform that helps you build and manage multi-channel notification systems across email, SMS, push, in-app, and chat.

Paperform connects to Knock directly through Stepper workflows.

Each new submission can be posted to Knock, in the channel where someone will act on it.

How Knock connects to Paperform

Direct methods run inside your Paperform account. Zapier and Make are there too if your team already uses them.

Stepper workflows

Direct

Run a Stepper workflow when someone submits your form: 14 Knock actions and 2 triggers, included in your Paperform account.

  1. Open Stepper from your Paperform account and create a workflow.
  2. Start it with the Paperform “New Submission” trigger and choose your form.
  3. Add a Knock step, connect your account and map the submission’s answers to its fields.

What your form sends to Knock

For example, with a Stepper workflow the “Add Subscriptions” action takes these fields. Map each one to a question on your form, and every submission fills them in.
