Integration · Documents

Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Knackly

Ask your AI to start a new matter in Knackly and produce the documents for it. It can list your catalogs and records, see which fields an app collects, create a record and run an app on it. Then it checks the status and results of that run, so you know when the documents are ready.

Questions

What can the AI do in Knackly?

The AI can list catalogs, records, apps, app fields and workspace users, and read a record with its data. It can create records, run an app on a record to generate documents and check the result. It can also delete a record if you switch that tool on.

Does the AI see my Knackly credentials?

No. Your Knackly credentials are encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save them, they are not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start with lookups only. Deleting a record is permanent and can require your approval before it runs. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your HeyMyApps link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

HeyMyApps has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Knackly account, and API access may need to be enabled by Knackly sales for your plan.

Why can the AI only see some catalogs?

Knackly grants each API key access per catalog. The AI sees only the catalogs your key covers. If one is missing, ask your Knackly workspace administrator to give the key access to it.
