Integration
Connect Erpnext and Katana
When New Customer fires in Erpnext, your agent runs Create Customer in Katana, or New Customer in Katana to Add Customer in Erpnext. 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
Erpnext and Katana, answered
What can start an automation from Erpnext?
Any of Erpnext's 2 triggers in the catalog, including New Customer and New Sales Invoice. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Katana when something happens in Erpnext?
Any of Katana's 22 actions, including Create Customer, Create Sales Order, Update Customer and Update product. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Katana to Erpnext?
Yes. When something happens in Katana, your agent can act in Erpnext too. This page covers both directions: Katana's triggers and Erpnext's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Erpnext or Katana?
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 Erpnext and Katana 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.
