Integration
Connect Act-On and CATS
When New Contact fires in Act-On, your agent runs Create a Contact in CATS, or Candidate Updated in CATS to Add Contact to Marketing List in Act-On. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.
What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.
Build solutions, not workarounds.

Questions
Act-On and CATS, answered
What can start an automation from Act-On?
Any of Act-On's 2 triggers in the catalog, including New Contact and New or Updated Contact. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in CATS when something happens in Act-On?
Any of CATS's 22 actions, including Create a Candidate, Create a Company, Create a Contact and Create a Job. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from CATS to Act-On?
Yes. When something happens in CATS, your agent can act in Act-On too. This page covers both directions: CATS's triggers and Act-On's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Act-On or CATS?
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 Act-On and CATS 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.
