Integration
Connect Canto and HigherGov
When New File in Canto fires in Canto, your agent runs Find Agencies in HigherGov, or Pursuit Added in HigherGov to Add Keyword to File in Canto. 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.
