Any of ActiveTrail's 4 triggers in the catalog, including Contact Added to Group, Contact Removed From Group, Contact Updated and Contact Unsubscribed. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in BigCommerce when something happens in ActiveTrail? Any of BigCommerce's 19 actions, including Create Customer, Update brand, Update Customer and Update Order. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from BigCommerce to ActiveTrail? Yes. When something happens in BigCommerce, your agent can act in ActiveTrail too. This page covers both directions: BigCommerce's triggers and ActiveTrail's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for ActiveTrail or BigCommerce? 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 ActiveTrail and BigCommerce 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.
