Integration
Connect Dropbox and Switchboard Canvas
When New File in Folder fires in Dropbox, your agent runs Create Image in Switchboard Canvas, or New Template in Switchboard Canvas to Upload file in Dropbox. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.
What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.
Build solutions, not workarounds.

Questions
Dropbox and Switchboard Canvas, answered
What can start an automation from Dropbox?
Any of Dropbox's 1 trigger in the catalog, including New File in Folder. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Switchboard Canvas when something happens in Dropbox?
Any of Switchboard Canvas's 3 actions, including Create Image, List Template Elements and List Templates. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Switchboard Canvas to Dropbox?
Yes. When something happens in Switchboard Canvas, your agent can act in Dropbox too. This page covers both directions: Switchboard Canvas's triggers and Dropbox's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Dropbox or Switchboard Canvas?
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 Dropbox and Switchboard Canvas 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.
