Any of DNSFilter's 4 triggers in the catalog, including Blocked Page Form Submitted, Policy Changed, Blocked Page Visited and Invoice Available. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Grist when something happens in DNSFilter? Any of Grist's 21 actions, including Create Document, Create or Update Record, Create Record and Create Workspace. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Grist to DNSFilter? Yes. When something happens in Grist, your agent can act in DNSFilter too. This page covers both directions: Grist's triggers and DNSFilter's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for DNSFilter or Grist? 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 DNSFilter and Grist 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.
