Any of Close's 3 triggers in the catalog, including New Contact in Contact Smart View, New Lead in Smart View and New Note. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Recurly when something happens in Close? Any of Recurly's 80 actions, including Create account, Create line item, Create purchase - add subscription and Create purchase - add subscription add-on. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Recurly to Close? Yes. When something happens in Recurly, your agent can act in Close too. This page covers both directions: Recurly's triggers and Close's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Close or Recurly? 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 Close and Recurly 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.
