What is Pylon?
Pylon is a modern B2B customer support platform for managing customer issues and conversations, while organizing work around accounts and contacts. It helps support and customer success teams collaborate with product and engineering to resolve tickets, track tasks, and capture customer context.
By integrating Pylon with Konnectify, you can keep Pylon in sync with your internal systems and automate common support workflows—like provisioning accounts, updating customer metadata, creating issues, and publishing knowledge base content.

API & authentication
Authentication: API Token (custom credential)
This connector uses API Token authentication. In Konnectify, you’ll paste your Pylon API token once when creating a connection. Konnectify uses it to authenticate API requests on your behalf.
Required connection fields
What the API connection can do
- Accounts & contacts: create, update, search, and delete
- Issues: create, update, search, delete, and manage conversations
- Knowledge base: manage collections, articles, and redirects
- Operational objects: tags, tasks, projects, milestones, teams, users
- Surveys: list surveys and fetch responses
Important: permissions, plans, and rate limits
- API access may depend on your Pylon plan and workspace permissions.
- Respect rate limits—high-volume searches can be throttled.
- Use cursor-enabled search actions for pagination and large datasets.
Official API docs: https://docs.usepylon.com/ (If your workspace uses a different docs URL, use the one provided by your Pylon admin.)
How to connect
Prerequisites
- A Pylon workspace with API access enabled
- A Pylon API Token (from your Pylon admin/settings)
- A Konnectify account with permission to create connections and workflows
Add Pylon to a Workflow
- In Konnectify, open Workflows and click Create workflow.
- Search for Pylon in the app catalog.
- Select Pylon as the step where you want to create/update/search data.
Authorize via API Token
- When prompted, click Add new connection.
- Paste your Pylon API Token into the API Token field.
- Save the connection. Konnectify will validate the credential on the first API call.
Configure the Action
- Choose the Pylon action (for example, Create Issue or Update Account).
- Map fields from previous steps (e.g., account identifiers, requester details, tags).
- Use Search actions to look up IDs when needed (account_id, issue_id, etc.).
Mapping tip
Many “Update” and “Delete” actions require an internal Pylon ID (or sometimes an external ID). If your source system doesn’t store Pylon IDs yet, add a lookup step first (for example, Search Accounts or Get Issue) and map the returned ID forward.
Test the Workflow
- Run a test with a known account/contact/issue record.
- Confirm the record appears in Pylon with the expected fields and tags.
- If using file uploads, verify the URL/content is accessible and correctly encoded.
Activate the Workflow
- Turn the workflow On.
- Monitor first runs in workflow logs and refine field mappings as needed.
- Scale safely: add filters, dedup checks, and pagination for search steps.
Triggers 0
This integration currently provides no native Pylon triggers in Konnectify. To automate end-to-end workflows, use triggers from other apps (e.g., CRM, forms, billing, data warehouse) and then execute Pylon actions to create/update records.
Need a Pylon trigger?
Common patterns are: trigger on “New/Updated record” in your source system → Search in Pylon → Create/Update in Pylon. If you need webhook-based triggers for Pylon events, contact Konnectify support with your event requirements.

FAQ
How does authentication work for the Pylon connector?
Pylon uses API Token authentication in this integration. Create or obtain a token from your Pylon workspace, then paste it into Konnectify when you create a Pylon connection.
Which Pylon plans are supported?
Any plan that provides API access can be connected. If an action fails with authorization errors, confirm your workspace plan supports the endpoint and that the token has adequate permissions.
How do triggers work for Pylon in Konnectify?
This connector currently has 0 triggers. Use a trigger from another app (webhook, CRM event, database change, etc.) and then call Pylon actions to create/update/search records.
How do I prevent duplicates (accounts, contacts, issues)?
There isn’t a dedicated “Upsert” action in this connector. Use the pattern
Search → Create (or
Get → Update):
- Accounts: Search Accounts by domain/external ID, then Create Account if not found, otherwise Update Account.
- Contacts: Search Contacts by email, then Create Contact or Update Contact.
- Issues: design an external reference field (where available) and use Search Issues before creating.
How does Konnectify handle Pylon API rate limits?
If Pylon returns throttling responses, your workflow run may slow down or retry depending on your Konnectify settings. To reduce throttling:
- Prefer cursor-enabled search actions for large datasets (e.g., Search Accounts, Search Issues).
- Filter aggressively (date ranges, state, tags) rather than pulling everything.
- Avoid “fan-out” patterns without batching/limits.
Can I connect multiple Pylon workspaces to Konnectify?
Yes. Create one Konnectify connection per Pylon workspace (each with its own API token). Then select the desired connection in each workflow step.
What’s the safest way to manage issue conversations (replies, notes, redactions)?
Use Reply to Issue for customer-facing updates and Create Issue Note (or Create Issue Thread) for internal collaboration. Be cautious with Redact Issue Message and Delete Issue Message—both are permanent, and redaction cannot be undone. Consider adding a manual approval step in your workflow before executing destructive actions.
