Any of CS-Cart's 16 actions, including Create Order (For CS-Cart), Create Product, Update customer and Update order. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from CS-Cart to Anchor? Yes. When something happens in CS-Cart, your agent can act in Anchor too. This page covers both directions: CS-Cart's triggers and Anchor's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Anchor or CS-Cart? 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 Anchor and CS-Cart 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.
