# Connect Common Room and Podio

When **Custom Fields List** fires in [Common Room](https://apiant.ai/connections/common-room), your agent runs **Create Task** in [Podio](https://apiant.ai/connections/podio), or **Item Updated** in Podio to **Add Common Room Contact to Segment** in Common Room. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.

Common Room **2** triggers Common Room **11** actions Podio **8** triggers Podio **14** actions

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

## What do you want Common Room and Podio 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.

Open Customize, then Connectors, then Add custom connector, and paste the address. On Team and Enterprise an owner adds it first.

### Any other MCP client

Paste the address where the client asks for a remote MCP server URL, and name the server apiant-ai where it lets you. APIANT's skills reach the client over the same connection.

###

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 Common Room and Podio without building an automation?

### 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.
