Any of The Old Reader's 12 actions, including Update folder, Update item, Update subscription and Add subscription. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from The Old Reader to AddEvent? Yes. When something happens in The Old Reader, your agent can act in AddEvent too. This page covers both directions: The Old Reader's triggers and AddEvent's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for AddEvent or The Old Reader? 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 AddEvent and The Old Reader without building an automation? Yes.

It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Is there a free plan? Yes.
