Connect Direct Mail and Specter

What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.

What can your agent do in Specter when something happens in Direct Mail?
Any of Specter's 19 actions, including Create Company List, Update Company List, AI Search and Enrich Company. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Specter to Direct Mail?

Do I have to build a connector for Direct Mail or Specter?
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 Specter 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?
