Integration
Connect Autotask and Katana
When New Company fires in Autotask, your agent runs Add manufacturing order in Katana, or New Customer in Katana to Find Contact in Autotask. 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.
Build solutions, not workarounds.

Questions
Autotask and Katana, answered
What can start an automation from Autotask?
Any of Autotask's 18 triggers in the catalog, including New Company, New Configuration Item, New Contact and New Invoice. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Katana when something happens in Autotask?
Any of Katana's 22 actions, including Create Customer, Create Sales Order, Update Customer and Update product. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Katana to Autotask?
Yes. When something happens in Katana, your agent can act in Autotask too. This page covers both directions: Katana's triggers and Autotask's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Autotask or Katana?
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 Autotask and Katana 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.
