Any of Agile CRM's 10 triggers in the catalog, including New contact, New matching contact or company, New matching task and List all tasks. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in CATS when something happens in Agile CRM? Any of CATS's 22 actions, including Create a Candidate, Create a Company, Create a Contact and Create a Job. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from CATS to Agile CRM? Yes. When something happens in CATS, your agent can act in Agile CRM too. This page covers both directions: CATS's triggers and Agile CRM's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Agile CRM or CATS? 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 Agile CRM and CATS 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.
