Integration
Connect Direct Mail and PaintScout
When New Contact fires in Direct Mail, your agent runs Create Contact in PaintScout, or Contact Created in PaintScout to Add or Update Contact in Direct Mail. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.
What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.
Build solutions, not workarounds.

Questions
Direct Mail and PaintScout, 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 PaintScout when something happens in Direct Mail?
Any of PaintScout's 25 actions, including Create Contact, Create Invoice, Create Quote and Update company. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from PaintScout to Direct Mail?
Yes. When something happens in PaintScout, your agent can act in Direct Mail too. This page covers both directions: PaintScout's triggers and Direct Mail's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Direct Mail or PaintScout?
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 PaintScout 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.
