Any of Chatter's 2 triggers in the catalog, including New Group and New Post. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in TimeAPI when something happens in Chatter? Any of TimeAPI's 8 actions, including Get current time by coordinates, Get current time by IP address, Get current time by time zone and Get current unix timestamp. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from TimeAPI to Chatter? TimeAPI has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Chatter. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads TimeAPI's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Chatter or TimeAPI? 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 Chatter and TimeAPI 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.
