# Connect Commerce Layer and Motion

When **New Attachment** fires in [Commerce Layer](https://apiant.ai/connections/commerce-layer), your agent runs **Create Recurring Task** in [Motion](https://apiant.ai/connections/motion), or **New Comment** in Motion to **Add Customer Address** in Commerce Layer. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.

Commerce Layer **13** triggers Commerce Layer **28** actions Motion **4** triggers Motion **17** actions

What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.

## What do you want Commerce Layer and Motion to do together?

Give your AI client this address.

`https://mcp.apiant.ai`

One connection does both: ask your client to act in an app once, or have it build an automation that keeps running. Any client that takes a remote MCP server. Nothing to install. Create your free account, then sign in once in your browser.

### Set it up in your client

### Claude Code

Run this in the directory you want to work in.

`claude mcp add --transport http -s project apiant-ai https://mcp.apiant.ai`

Start Claude Code there, approve the server, and sign in in the browser page it opens.

Questions

## Commerce Layer and Motion, answered

###

### What can start an automation from Commerce Layer?

Any of Commerce Layer's 13 triggers in the catalog, including New Attachment, New Customer, New Customer Address Event and New Customer Password Reset Event. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.

###

### What can your agent do in Motion when something happens in Commerce Layer?

Any of Motion's 17 actions, including Create Comment, Create Project, Create Recurring Task and Create Task. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.

###

### Can it also run from Motion to Commerce Layer?

Yes. When something happens in Motion, your agent can act in Commerce Layer too. This page covers both directions: Motion's triggers and Commerce Layer's actions are listed here as well.

###

### Do I have to build a connector for Commerce Layer or Motion?

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 Commerce Layer and Motion 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.
