Any of ActiveCollab's 5 triggers in the catalog, including New Project, New Task, New Task List and Task Moved. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Azure File Storage when something happens in ActiveCollab? Any of Azure File Storage's 7 actions, including Create Directory, Upload File, Download File and Get File Properties. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Azure File Storage to ActiveCollab? Yes. When something happens in Azure File Storage, your agent can act in ActiveCollab too. This page covers both directions: Azure File Storage's triggers and ActiveCollab's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for ActiveCollab or Azure File Storage? 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 ActiveCollab and Azure File Storage 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.
