Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Amazon SQS when something happens in Amazon EC2? Any of Amazon SQS's 3 actions, including Create JSON Message, Create Message and Create Queue. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Amazon SQS to Amazon EC2? Yes. When something happens in Amazon SQS, your agent can act in Amazon EC2 too. This page covers both directions: Amazon SQS's triggers and Amazon EC2's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Amazon EC2 or Amazon SQS? 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 EC2 and Amazon SQS 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.
