Connect Avalara and Pipefile
When New Transaction fires in Avalara, your agent runs Create Contact in Pipefile, or File Request Created in Pipefile 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.
