Questions
Dovetail and Mendato, answered
What can start an automation from Dovetail?
Any of Dovetail's 3 triggers in the catalog, including New Project, New Published Insight and Updated Project. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Mendato when something happens in Dovetail?
Any of Mendato's 25 actions, including Create Credit Note, Create Customer, Create Estimate and Create Invoice. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Mendato to Dovetail?
Yes. When something happens in Mendato, your agent can act in Dovetail too. This page covers both directions: Mendato's triggers and Dovetail's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Dovetail or Mendato?
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 Dovetail and Mendato 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.
