Integration
Connect Cerca and HigherGov
When Applicant Created fires in Cerca, your agent runs Find Agencies in HigherGov, or Pursuit Added in HigherGov to Create User in Cerca. 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
Cerca and HigherGov, answered
What can start an automation from Cerca?
Any of Cerca's 4 triggers in the catalog, including Applicant Created, New Agency, Applicant Progressed and Applicant Archived. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in HigherGov when something happens in Cerca?
Any of HigherGov's 10 actions, including Find Agencies, Find Awardees, Find Contract Vehicles and Find Federal Contracts. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from HigherGov to Cerca?
Yes. When something happens in HigherGov, your agent can act in Cerca too. This page covers both directions: HigherGov's triggers and Cerca's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Cerca or HigherGov?
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 Cerca and HigherGov 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.
