Any of eSputnik's 2 triggers in the catalog, including New Contact and New Contact in Segment. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Ashby when something happens in eSputnik? Any of Ashby's 17 actions, including Create Candidate, Create Candidate Note, Update Candidate and Update job. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Ashby to eSputnik? Ashby has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in eSputnik. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Ashby's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for eSputnik or Ashby? 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 eSputnik and Ashby 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.
