Connect Buddy Punch and Pleo
When Employee Created fires in Buddy Punch, your agent runs Add account in Pleo, or New Employee in Pleo to Create Employee in Buddy Punch. 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.

Questions
Buddy Punch and Pleo, answered
What can start an automation from Buddy Punch?
Any of Buddy Punch's 4 triggers in the catalog, including Employee Created, Employee Updated, Punch in Changed and Employee Punched In. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Pleo when something happens in Buddy Punch?
Any of Pleo's 24 actions, including Create Tag, Update tag, Update tag group and Update tax code. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Pleo to Buddy Punch?
Yes. When something happens in Pleo, your agent can act in Buddy Punch too. This page covers both directions: Pleo's triggers and Buddy Punch's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Buddy Punch or Pleo?
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 Buddy Punch and Pleo 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.
