Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Businessmap to Affinity? Yes. When something happens in Businessmap, your agent can act in Affinity too. This page covers both directions: Businessmap's triggers and Affinity's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Affinity or Businessmap? 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 Affinity and Businessmap 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.

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