Questions
Files.com and PaintScout, answered
What can start an automation from Files.com?
Any of Files.com's 7 triggers in the catalog, including Automation Run Completed, Group Created, New File or Folder Created and New File Uploaded. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in PaintScout when something happens in Files.com?
Any of PaintScout's 19 actions, including Create Contact, Create Quote, Update company and Update Contact. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from PaintScout to Files.com?
Yes. When something happens in PaintScout, your agent can act in Files.com too. This page covers both directions: PaintScout's triggers and Files.com's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Files.com or PaintScout?
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 Files.com and PaintScout 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.
