Integration
Connect Canto and Shape
When New File in Canto fires in Canto, your agent runs Create Record in Shape, or New Record in Shape 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.

Questions
Canto and Shape, answered
What can start an automation from Canto?
Any of Canto's 2 triggers in the catalog, including New File in Canto and New File in Canto Album. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Shape when something happens in Canto?
Any of Shape's 16 actions, including Create Record, Update Record, Update Status and Add Calendar Event. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Shape to Canto?
Yes. When something happens in Shape, your agent can act in Canto too. This page covers both directions: Shape's triggers and Canto's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Canto or Shape?
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 Canto and Shape 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.
