Connect ActiveCollab and Direct Mail
When New Project fires in ActiveCollab, your agent runs List projects in Direct Mail, or New Contact in Direct Mail to Add Comment to Task in ActiveCollab. 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.
What do you want ActiveCollab and Direct Mail to do together?
Ask the assistant
Connect your AI client
Give your AI client this address.
https://mcp.apiant.aiOne connection does both: ask your client to act in an app once, or have it build an automation that keeps running. Any client that takes a remote MCP server. Nothing to install. Create your free account, then sign in once in your browser.
Set it up in your client
Claude Code
Run this in the directory you want to work in.

Paste the address where the client asks for a remote MCP server URL, and name the server apiant-ai where it lets you. APIANT's skills reach the client over the same connection.

Questions
ActiveCollab and Direct Mail, answered
What can start an automation from ActiveCollab?
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 Direct Mail when something happens in ActiveCollab?
Any of Direct Mail's 9 actions, including Update Contact, Add or Update Contact, Find Contact and Get report. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Direct Mail to ActiveCollab?
Yes. When something happens in Direct Mail, your agent can act in ActiveCollab too. This page covers both directions: Direct Mail's triggers and ActiveCollab's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for ActiveCollab or Direct Mail?
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 Direct Mail 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.
