Any of Amazon CloudFront's 2 triggers in the catalog, including New Distribution and New Invalidation. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Salesforce when something happens in Amazon CloudFront? Any of Salesforce's 9 actions, including Create object record, Find most recent created or updated record, Update object record and Describe object. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Salesforce to Amazon CloudFront? Yes. When something happens in Salesforce, your agent can act in Amazon CloudFront too. This page covers both directions: Salesforce's triggers and Amazon CloudFront's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Amazon CloudFront or Salesforce? 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 Amazon CloudFront and Salesforce 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.
