Questions
Direct Mail and Ontraport, 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 Ontraport when something happens in Direct Mail?
Any of Ontraport's 14 actions, including Create Object, Create or Update Contact, Create Task and Update Object. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Ontraport to Direct Mail?
Yes. When something happens in Ontraport, your agent can act in Direct Mail too. This page covers both directions: Ontraport's triggers and Direct Mail's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Direct Mail or Ontraport?
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 Ontraport 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.
