Connecting them means a new submission can become a row in the right Grist table, matched against records you already have, and a change in Grist can create or remove a submission in Fillout Forms.

Yes. Use Create or Update Record with a match column such as email, so a repeat submission updates the existing Grist row, and only a new email adds one. ### ### What can start a run between these two apps? On the Fillout Forms side, New Submission is the trigger. On the Grist side, you can start from New Record or New or Updated Record, including the instant versions, and then act on a form with Add Submission, Get Submission or Delete Submission. ### ### What can start an automation from Fillout Forms? Any of Fillout Forms's 1 trigger in the catalog, including New Submission. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Grist when something happens in Fillout Forms? Any of Grist's 21 actions, including Create Record, Find Record, Update Record and Create Document. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Grist to Fillout Forms? Yes. When something happens in Grist, your agent can act in Fillout Forms too. This page covers both directions: Grist's triggers and Fillout Forms's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Fillout Forms or Grist? 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 Fillout Forms and Grist 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.
