Questions
Dotdigital and Urban Observatory, answered
What can start an automation from Dotdigital?
Any of Dotdigital's 5 triggers in the catalog, including Contact Created, Campaign Activity, Campaign Opens and Contact Suppressed. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Urban Observatory when something happens in Dotdigital?
Any of Urban Observatory's 5 actions, including Get sensor readings, Get sensors data, List sensors and List themes. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Urban Observatory to Dotdigital?
Urban Observatory has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Dotdigital. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Urban Observatory's API documentation and adds it.
Do I have to build a connector for Dotdigital or Urban Observatory?
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 Dotdigital and Urban Observatory 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.
