Any of Cisco Spark's 3 triggers in the catalog, including New membership, New message and New space. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in PPM Express when something happens in Cisco Spark? Any of PPM Express's 8 actions, including Create Idea, Create Project, Create Project Key Date and Create Project Task. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from PPM Express to Cisco Spark? Yes. When something happens in PPM Express, your agent can act in Cisco Spark too. This page covers both directions: PPM Express's triggers and Cisco Spark's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Cisco Spark or PPM Express? 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 Cisco Spark and PPM Express 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.
