# Connect Aplos and Cliniko

When **New contact** fires in [Aplos](https://apiant.ai/connections/aplos), your agent runs **Create contact** in [Cliniko](https://apiant.ai/connections/cliniko), or **Cancelled individual appointment** in Cliniko to **Find contacts** in Aplos. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.

What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.

## What do you want Aplos and Cliniko to do together?

Give your AI client this address.

`https://mcp.apiant.ai`

One connection does both: ask your client to act in an app once, or have it build an automation that keeps running. Any client that takes a remote MCP server. Nothing to install. Create your free account, then sign in once in your browser.

### Set it up in your client

### Claude Code

Run this in the directory you want to work in.

`claude mcp add --transport http -s project apiant-ai https://mcp.apiant.ai`

Start Claude Code there, approve the server, and sign in in the browser page it opens.

Cliniko holds your patients, contacts and invoices; Aplos holds the funds, contacts and accounting records. Joining them means an invoice raised in Cliniko can land as a transaction in Aplos against the right contact and fund, and a donor added in Aplos can show up as a contact in Cliniko. The agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running.

Questions

## Aplos and Cliniko, answered

###

### Can invoices from Cliniko become accounting entries in Aplos?

Yes. The New or updated invoice trigger in Cliniko can be followed by Get patient, Find contacts in Aplos and Add transaction, so the entry carries the right contact and fund. The agent tests each scenario, including invoices where no matching Aplos contact is found.

###

### How are people matched between the two apps?

Matching is done on email address, using Find contacts in Aplos and Find patient by email or Find contact by email in Cliniko. If no match exists you can create the record instead, with Create contact or Create patient in Cliniko.

###

### What can start an automation from Aplos?

Any of Aplos's 3 triggers in the catalog, including New contact, New or updated contact and New contribution. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.

###

### What can your agent do in Cliniko when something happens in Aplos?

Any of Cliniko's 36 actions, including Create contact, Get patient, Update contact and Create patient. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.

###

### Can it also run from Cliniko to Aplos?

Yes. When something happens in Cliniko, your agent can act in Aplos too. This page covers both directions: Cliniko's triggers and Aplos's actions are listed here as well.

###

### Do I have to build a connector for Aplos or Cliniko?

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 Aplos and Cliniko 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.
