Any of Clio's 8 triggers in the catalog, including Matter Status Updated, New Activity, New Calendar Entry and New Communication. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Freelo when something happens in Clio? Any of Freelo's 20 actions, including Update project, Update task, Update tasklist and Add comment. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Freelo to Clio? Yes. When something happens in Freelo, your agent can act in Clio too. This page covers both directions: Freelo's triggers and Clio's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Clio or Freelo? 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 Clio and Freelo 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.
