Any of Azure DevOps's 5 actions, including Create Work Item, Update Work Item, Add Link to Work Item and Find Work Item. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Azure DevOps to AskHandle? Yes. When something happens in Azure DevOps, your agent can act in AskHandle too. This page covers both directions: Azure DevOps's triggers and AskHandle's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for AskHandle or Azure DevOps? 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 AskHandle and Azure DevOps 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.
