Knock adds single-step test runs and retries for failed workflow runs.

notificationsdeveloper toolsworkflow debuggingai integrations
◆Current state
Knock is a notification infrastructure platform that spent September and October wiring itself into AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT/Codex, Cursor) and Stripe Projects. Its latest two releases turn to the workflow debugger: a failed run can now be retried from where it stopped, and a single channel step can be tested in sandbox without running the whole workflow.
◆Where it's heading
With distribution through AI tools in place, Knock is now improving the day-to-day build-and-debug loop for workflows, following the September analytics tab. The pattern points to more operational tooling around runs, not new channels.
◆Prediction
Expect further debugger and test-runner features, such as bulk retries or replays with edited data, given two debugging releases in three days.

◆Recent moves

    Run a single workflow step

    The workflow test runner can now send a single channel step in sandbox and record an inspectable run, without executing the rest of the workflow. It shortens iteration on one template or channel.

    Retry failed workflow runs

    Failed workflow runs can be retried from the debugger and resume where they stopped. It gives teams a recovery path for notifications that failed partway through.

    Stripe Projects integration

    Account creation and credential sync from the terminal via Stripe Projects is another distribution channel aimed at developers who assemble stacks from a CLI or an agent. It extends the run of AI-tool plugins into provisioning itself.

    Model selection in the Knock agent

    Users can now choose which model runs the Knock agent or let auto mode route per request. It matures the in-product agent alongside the external connectors Knock shipped in August and September.

    Workflow + broadcast analytics

    A new Analytics tab shows run, delivery and engagement metrics for each workflow and broadcast step. It is the measurement layer for workflows increasingly built through agents.

    Cursor plugin for Knock

    A Cursor plugin puts Knock inside the editor agent already working on the codebase. Third AI-tool integration in two weeks.
