Any of Anchor's 4 triggers in the catalog, including New Proposal Sent, Agreement Amended, Proposal Approved and Proposal Published. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Stora when something happens in Anchor? Any of Stora's 17 actions, including Create Contact, Create Note, Create Task and Create Timeline Event. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Stora to Anchor? Yes. When something happens in Stora, your agent can act in Anchor too. This page covers both directions: Stora's triggers and Anchor's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Anchor or Stora? 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 Stora 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.
