Any of COR's 12 triggers in the catalog, including Create Brand, Create Client, Create Hour and Create Invoice. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Catalog Machine when something happens in COR? Any of Catalog Machine's 7 actions, including Get product, Get Product Import Status, Import Product CSV and List categories. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Catalog Machine to COR? Catalog Machine has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in COR. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Catalog Machine's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for COR or Catalog Machine? 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 COR and Catalog Machine 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.
