Integration
Connect Canny and Tableau
When New Comment fires in Canny, your agent runs Run Extract Refresh Task in Tableau, or New Data Source in Tableau to Create or Update User in Canny. 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
Canny and Tableau, answered
What can start an automation from Canny?
Any of Canny's 1 trigger in the catalog, including New Comment. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Tableau when something happens in Canny?
Any of Tableau's 18 actions, including Create Project, Create Workbook Refresh, Update Project and Update User. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Tableau to Canny?
Yes. When something happens in Tableau, your agent can act in Canny too. This page covers both directions: Tableau's triggers and Canny's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Canny or Tableau?
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 Canny and Tableau 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.
