Connect Direct Mail and shipcloud
When New Contact fires in Direct Mail, your agent runs Add order in shipcloud, or New Shipment Status in shipcloud 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.
What do you want Direct Mail and shipcloud to do together?
Ask the assistant
Connect your AI client
Give your AI client this address.
https://mcp.apiant.aiOne connection does both: ask your client to act in an app once, or have it build an automation that keeps running. Any client that takes a remote MCP server. Nothing to install. Create your free account, then sign in once in your browser.

Questions
Direct Mail and shipcloud, 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 shipcloud when something happens in Direct Mail?
Any of shipcloud's 16 actions, including Create Shipment, Create Shipment Quote, Update shipment and Add address. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from shipcloud to Direct Mail?
Yes. When something happens in shipcloud, your agent can act in Direct Mail too. This page covers both directions: shipcloud's triggers and Direct Mail's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Direct Mail or shipcloud?
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 shipcloud 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.
