Any of Cvent's 4 triggers in the catalog, including Trigger on New And/Or Updated Attendees, Trigger on New And/Or Updated Contacts, Trigger on New And/Or Updated Events and Trigger on New Attendee Activities. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Shade when something happens in Cvent? Any of Shade's 7 actions, including Create Folder, Copy a File, Find an Asset and Get Public Links for a File or Folder. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Shade to Cvent? Yes. When something happens in Shade, your agent can act in Cvent too. This page covers both directions: Shade's triggers and Cvent's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Cvent or Shade? 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 Cvent and Shade 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.
