Yes. The agent can query records in your QuickBase table to find the matching row first, then use insert or update records so the existing row is changed rather than duplicated. ### ### Can records created in QuickBase become donors in DonorPerfect? Yes. The new record trigger in QuickBase can run the add donor action in DonorPerfect, which returns the new donor id. You can also add a contact record against a donor when a QuickBase record is updated. ### ### What can start an automation from DonorPerfect? Any of DonorPerfect's 6 triggers in the catalog, including New gift, New donor, New or updated donor and New or updated gift. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in QuickBase when something happens in DonorPerfect? Any of QuickBase's 21 actions, including Update app, Update field, Update table and Add app. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from QuickBase to DonorPerfect? Yes. When something happens in QuickBase, your agent can act in DonorPerfect too.

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 DonorPerfect and QuickBase 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.
