This page covers both directions: crates.io's triggers and Chaport's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Chaport or crates.io? 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 Chaport and crates.io without building an automation? Yes.
