Any of CATS's 14 triggers in the catalog, including Candidate Updated, Company Status Changed, Company Updated and Contact Status Changed. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Freelo when something happens in CATS? Any of Freelo's 20 actions, including Update project, Update task, Update tasklist and Add comment. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Freelo to CATS? Yes. When something happens in Freelo, your agent can act in CATS too. This page covers both directions: Freelo's triggers and CATS's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for CATS or Freelo? 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 CATS and Freelo 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.
