# Connect Busybusy and Smartsheet

When **Certifications: Certification Updated** fires in [Busybusy](https://apiant.ai/connections/busybusy), your agent runs **Add row** in [Smartsheet](https://apiant.ai/connections/smartsheet), or **New row** in Smartsheet to **Create Project** in Busybusy. 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.

## What do you want Busybusy and Smartsheet to do together?

Give your AI client this address.

`https://mcp.apiant.ai`

One connection does both: ask your client to act in an app once, or have it build an automation that keeps running. Any client that takes a remote MCP server. Nothing to install. Create your free account, then sign in once in your browser.

### Set it up in your client

### Claude Code

Run this in the directory you want to work in.

`claude mcp add --transport http -s project apiant-ai https://mcp.apiant.ai`

Start Claude Code there, approve the server, and sign in in the browser page it opens.

[Claude Code guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp/claude-code)

Open Customize, then Connectors, then Add custom connector, and paste the address. On Team and Enterprise an owner adds it first.

### Any other MCP client

Paste the address where the client asks for a remote MCP server URL, and name the server apiant-ai where it lets you. APIANT's skills reach the client over the same connection.

###

### What can your agent do in Smartsheet when something happens in Busybusy?

Any of Smartsheet's 26 actions, including Update row, Update sheet, Add column and Add comment. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.

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 Busybusy and Smartsheet without building an automation?

Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships.
