Questions
Avalara and Commerce Layer, answered
What can start an automation from Avalara?
Any of Avalara's 1 trigger in the catalog, including New Transaction. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Commerce Layer when something happens in Avalara?
Any of Commerce Layer's 28 actions, including Create Address, Create Attachment, Create Customer and Create Gift Card. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Commerce Layer to Avalara?
Yes. When something happens in Commerce Layer, your agent can act in Avalara too. This page covers both directions: Commerce Layer's triggers and Avalara's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Avalara or Commerce Layer?
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 Avalara and Commerce Layer without building an automation?

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.
