Any of 5pm's 7 triggers in the catalog, including New Progress, New Project, New Task and New User. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Apollo when something happens in 5pm? Any of Apollo's 10 actions, including Create Account, Create Contact, Create Deal and Create Task. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Apollo to 5pm? Yes. When something happens in Apollo, your agent can act in 5pm too. This page covers both directions: Apollo's triggers and 5pm's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for 5pm or Apollo? No. Both are in the catalog with their triggers and actions. You describe the automation; your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. ### ### Can my AI client use 5pm and Apollo without building an automation? Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in either app once and it runs that action on the spot. Ask for an automation and your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running. One connection covers both. ### ### What happens when something fails? Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Is there a free plan? Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
