Connect Avalara and Heartbeat
When New Transaction fires in Avalara, your agent runs Create Event in Heartbeat, or Course Completed in Heartbeat to Create Customer in Avalara. 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.
