Any of Bitly's 8 triggers in the catalog, including New Bitlink in Group, New Branded Short Domain, New Channel and New Group. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Star Wars when something happens in Bitly? Any of Star Wars's 18 actions, including Find films by title, Find people by name, Find planets by name and Find species by name. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Star Wars to Bitly? Star Wars has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Bitly. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Star Wars's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Bitly or Star Wars? 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 Bitly and Star Wars 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.
