# Connect CATS and Pennylane

When **Candidate Updated** fires in [CATS](https://apiant.ai/connections/cats), your agent runs **Create Company Customer V2** in [Pennylane](https://apiant.ai/connections/pennylane), or **New Billing Subscription V2** in Pennylane to **Create a Contact** in CATS. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.

## What do you want CATS and Pennylane to do together?

Give your AI client this address.

`https://mcp.apiant.ai`
