Connect Buddy Punch and Vapi
When Employee Created fires in Buddy Punch, your agent runs Add assistant in Vapi, or New Assistant in Vapi to Create Department Code 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 Vapi, 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 Vapi when something happens in Buddy Punch?
Any of Vapi's 21 actions, including Create Call, Create Chat, Update Call and Update phone number. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Vapi to Buddy Punch?
Yes. When something happens in Vapi, your agent can act in Buddy Punch too. This page covers both directions: Vapi's triggers and Buddy Punch's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Buddy Punch or Vapi?
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 Vapi 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.
