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 FreshBooks when something happens in COR? Any of FreshBooks's 29 actions, including Create Bill, Create Client, Create Credit Note and Create Estimate. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from FreshBooks to COR? Yes. When something happens in FreshBooks, your agent can act in COR too. This page covers both directions: FreshBooks's triggers and COR's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for COR or FreshBooks? 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 FreshBooks 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.
