How to connect Cisco Meraki and Knack

Step 1: Create a new workflow
Step 2: Add and configure nodes
Step 3: Connect
Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Step 2: Add and configure Cisco Meraki and Knack nodes using the HTTP Request nodes

You can find the Cisco Meraki node in the nodes panel and drag it onto your workflow canvas. It will be added as the HTTP Request node with a pre-configured credential type. To add the Knack app to the workflow, select the HTTP Request node and use a generic authentication method. The HTTP Request node makes custom API calls to Cisco Meraki and Knack. Configure Cisco Meraki and Knack nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 3: Connect Cisco Meraki and Knack

A connection establishes a link between Cisco Meraki and Knack (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.

Step 4: Customize and extend your Cisco Meraki and Knack integration

Use n8n's core nodes such as If, Split Out, Merge, and others to transform and manipulate data. Write custom JavaScript or Python in the Code node and run it as a step in your workflow. Connect Cisco Meraki and Knack with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.

Step 5: Test and activate your Cisco Meraki and Knack workflow

Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from Cisco Meraki and Knack or vice versa. Easily debug your workflow: you can check past executions to isolate and fix the mistake. Once you've tested everything, make sure to save your workflow and activate it.

Build your own Cisco Meraki and Knack integration

Create custom Cisco Meraki and Knack workflows by choosing triggers and actions. Nodes come with global operations and settings, as well as app-specific parameters that can be configured. You can also use the HTTP Request node to query data from any app or service with a REST API.
