Any of Attio's 7 triggers in the catalog, including List Entry Created, List Entry Updated, Record Created and Record Updated.

Any of FreeAgent's 50 actions, including Create Bill, Create Contact, Create Credit Note and Create Estimate. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from FreeAgent to Attio? Yes. When something happens in FreeAgent, your agent can act in Attio too. This page covers both directions: FreeAgent's triggers and Attio's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Attio or FreeAgent? 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 Attio and FreeAgent 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.
