Any of crates.io's 8 actions, including Find crates by category, Find crates by name, Get crate and Get crate downloads. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from crates.io to Contacts+? Yes. When something happens in crates.io, your agent can act in Contacts+ too. This page covers both directions: crates.io's triggers and Contacts+'s actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Contacts+ or crates.io? 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 Contacts+ and crates.io 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.
