Connect Buttondown and Cursor
When New Draft fires in Buttondown, your agent runs Add Followup Instruction to Agent in Cursor, or Agent Pull Request Created in Cursor to Create Email in Buttondown. 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
Buttondown and Cursor, answered
What can start an automation from Buttondown?
Any of Buttondown's 4 triggers in the catalog, including New Draft, New Scheduled Email, New Tag and Newsletters. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Cursor when something happens in Buttondown?
Any of Cursor's 11 actions, including Add Followup Instruction to Agent, Find Agent Status, Get run and Launch Agent. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Cursor to Buttondown?
Yes. When something happens in Cursor, your agent can act in Buttondown too. This page covers both directions: Cursor's triggers and Buttondown's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Buttondown or Cursor?
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 Buttondown and Cursor 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.
