A new opportunity in Capsule CRM can trigger a drafted summary from OpenAI that is saved as a note, while new files, batches or videos in OpenAI can raise a case or task for someone to review.

Yes. The agent can read the party with Get Party, send its details to a model with Send model a message, and write the reply back with Create a note on the party, opportunity or case. It can also add a follow-up task on the same record. ### ### What can start a run on the OpenAI side? OpenAI surfaces new batches, files, models, vector stores and videos as triggers, and each can drive a Capsule CRM action such as Create a case, Add Task or Create a note. Anything beyond those listed triggers would need to start from Capsule CRM instead. ### ### What can start an automation from Capsule CRM? Any of Capsule CRM's 8 triggers in the catalog, including New case, New opportunity, New person and New organization. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in OpenAI when something happens in Capsule CRM? Any of OpenAI's 69 actions, including Create embedding, Create vector store, Create assistant and Create chat completion. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from OpenAI to Capsule CRM? Yes. When something happens in OpenAI, your agent can act in Capsule CRM too. This page covers both directions: OpenAI's triggers and Capsule CRM's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Capsule CRM or OpenAI? 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 Capsule CRM and OpenAI 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.
