Any of EspoCRM's 3 triggers in the catalog, including New contact, New Lead and New opportunity. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Stripe when something happens in EspoCRM? Any of Stripe's 21 actions, including Create Charge, Create charges (bulk charge creation), Create Customer and Create Payment Intent. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Stripe to EspoCRM? Yes. When something happens in Stripe, your agent can act in EspoCRM too. This page covers both directions: Stripe's triggers and EspoCRM's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for EspoCRM or Stripe? 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 EspoCRM and Stripe 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.
