Integration
Connect CATS and Zoho Books
When Candidate Updated fires in CATS, your agent runs Add customer payment in Zoho Books, or New bill in Zoho Books to Create a Contact in CATS. 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
CATS and Zoho Books, answered
What can start an automation from CATS?
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 Zoho Books when something happens in CATS?
Any of Zoho Books's 18 actions, including Create Customer, Create Estimate, Create Item and Create Sales Invoice. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Zoho Books to CATS?
Yes. When something happens in Zoho Books, your agent can act in CATS too. This page covers both directions: Zoho Books's triggers and CATS's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for CATS or Zoho Books?
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 Zoho Books 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.
