About Knock

Knock is flexible notification and customer engagement infrastructure built API-first for developers.

Data unification across warehouses, CDPs, and webhooks ensures messaging decisions use complete customer context. Version control with rollbacks provides safety for production workflow changes. HIPAA and SOC2 compliance make it suitable for regulated industries.
