Yes. The New Top Story trigger fires per CNBC category feed, and you can add a condition on the headline so only stories matching the words you care about create an Asana task, comment or project. Everything else is ignored. ### ### Can Asana activity pull CNBC headlines back in? Yes. Triggers like a completed task or a new comment on a task can run the CNBC Top Stories action for a chosen category, with optional search text taken from the task. The results can be written back as an Asana comment. ### ### What can start an automation from Asana? Any of Asana's 10 triggers in the catalog, including Completed task in project, New comment on task, New or updated task in project and New project in workspace. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in CNBC when something happens in Asana? Any of CNBC's 1 action, including Top Stories. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from CNBC to Asana? Yes. When something happens in CNBC, your agent can act in Asana too. This page covers both directions: CNBC's triggers and Asana's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Asana or CNBC? 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 Asana and CNBC 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.
