Connecting them means a link created in Dub can land in Readwise Reader for later reading, and an article you shortlist or finish in Reader can come back as a short link in Dub with the right tag on it.

Yes. Use Upsert Link in Dub, which returns the existing link when one already points at that URL and creates a new one otherwise. You can also run List tags in Dub first so the link is filed under a tag your workspace already uses. ### ### Which Readwise Reader events can start a workflow in Dub? Reader can start things off when a document is created, archived, finished, moved to inbox or later, shortlisted, or when its tags change, and Readwise itself fires on new highlights and highlight tags. Any of these can lead to Dub actions like Create Link, Upsert Link or Create Tag. ### ### What can start an automation from Dub? Any of Dub's 9 triggers in the catalog, including New Link, New Sale, New Commission and New Lead. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Readwise when something happens in Dub? Any of Readwise's 2 actions, including Add Document (Readwise Reader) and Create Highlight (Readwise). Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Readwise to Dub? Yes. When something happens in Readwise, your agent can act in Dub too. This page covers both directions: Readwise's triggers and Dub's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Dub or Readwise? 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 Dub and Readwise 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.
