Any of Clientary's 3 triggers in the catalog, including New Expense, New Invoice and New Staff. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Attentive when something happens in Clientary? Any of Attentive's 13 actions, including Add to Cart, Custom Attributes, Custom Events and Get Custom Attributes for a User. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Attentive to Clientary? Attentive has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Clientary. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Attentive's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Clientary or Attentive? 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 Clientary and Attentive 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.
