Questions
Direct Mail and Apify, answered
What can start an automation from Direct Mail?
Any of Direct Mail's 3 triggers in the catalog, including New Contact, Updated Contact and Sent Campaign. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Apify when something happens in Direct Mail?
Any of Apify's 20 actions, including Abort Actor build, Abort Actor run, Add dataset items and Add request to request queue. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Apify to Direct Mail?
Apify has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Direct Mail. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Apify's API documentation and adds it.
Do I have to build a connector for Direct Mail or Apify?
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 Direct Mail and Apify 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.
