Connect ChargeDesk to NREL
When Charge Created fires in ChargeDesk, your agent runs Estimate solar energy production in NREL. 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
ChargeDesk and NREL, answered
What can start an automation from ChargeDesk?
Any of ChargeDesk's 4 triggers in the catalog, including Charge Created, Customer Created, Subscription Created and Charge Failed. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in NREL when something happens in ChargeDesk?
Any of NREL's 5 actions, including Estimate solar energy production, Find nearest alternative fuel stations, Find utility rates and Get alternative fuel station. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from NREL to ChargeDesk?
NREL has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in ChargeDesk. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads NREL's API documentation and adds it.
Do I have to build a connector for ChargeDesk or NREL?
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 ChargeDesk and NREL 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.
