Connect Azurevirtualmachines and Switchboard Canvas
When New Virtual Machine fires in Azurevirtualmachines, your agent runs Create Image in Switchboard Canvas, or New Template in Switchboard Canvas to Deallocate Virtual Machine in Azurevirtualmachines. 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.

Everything your agent can do with Azurevirtualmachines and Switchboard Canvas
Triggers and actions 2 triggers · 14 actions
- New Virtual Machine
Triggers when a new virtual machine appears in an Azure subscription.
- Deallocate Virtual Machine
Shuts down an Azure virtual machine and releases its compute resources, so compute charges stop until it is started again.
- Get Virtual Machine
Returns a virtual machine's details and its current power state (running, stopped or deallocated).
- List Available VM Sizes
Returns the virtual machine sizes offered in an Azure region, with CPU and memory, and whether each is available to the subscription.
- List Locations
Returns the Azure regions available to a subscription.
- List Resource Groups
Returns the resource groups in an Azure subscription.
- List Subscriptions
Returns the Azure subscriptions the connected app registration can access.
- List Virtual Machines
Returns every virtual machine in an Azure subscription, with its size, region and resource group.
- List Virtual Machines in Resource Group
Returns the virtual machines in one Azure resource group, with their size and region.
- Power Off Virtual Machine
Powers off an Azure virtual machine. The machine stops running but stays allocated, so compute charges continue; use Deallocate Virtual Machine to stop them.
- Restart Virtual Machine
Restarts a running Azure virtual machine. Azure accepts the request and reboots the machine in the background.
- Start Virtual Machine
Starts a stopped or deallocated Azure virtual machine. Azure accepts the request and powers the machine on in the background.
- New Template
Triggers when a new template is added to your Switchboard Canvas account.
- Create Image
Creates an image from a template at the width and height you give, replacing template element values with your overwrites, and returns the URL of the generated image (kept for 7 days).
- List Template Elements
Returns the elements defined in a template, each with its name and type (text, image or rectangle), so you know which elements you can overwrite.
- List Templates
Returns the image templates defined in your Switchboard Canvas account, with each template's API name and display name.
No trigger or action matches that. Ask your agent to add it: it reads the API documentation and builds what you describe.

Questions
Azurevirtualmachines and Switchboard Canvas, answered
What can start an automation from Azurevirtualmachines?
Any of Azurevirtualmachines's 1 trigger in the catalog, including New Virtual Machine. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Switchboard Canvas when something happens in Azurevirtualmachines?
Any of Switchboard Canvas's 3 actions, including Create Image, List Template Elements and List Templates. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Switchboard Canvas to Azurevirtualmachines?
Yes. When something happens in Switchboard Canvas, your agent can act in Azurevirtualmachines too. This page covers both directions: Switchboard Canvas's triggers and Azurevirtualmachines's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Azurevirtualmachines or Switchboard Canvas?
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 Azurevirtualmachines and Switchboard Canvas 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.
