This page covers both directions: Busybusy's triggers and Buildkite's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Buildkite or Busybusy? 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 Buildkite and Busybusy 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.
