No, OpenQR is used for actions here, such as adding a QR code, updating a folder or listing existing codes. Every scenario begins with the New Article trigger in finlight, or with a search of recent finlight articles inside the run. ### ### How does the agent pick the right folder or QR code in OpenQR? It looks things up before it writes, using List folders, List QR codes or Get QR code, and acts only when the match you described exists. The agent tests every scenario, including the case where no matching folder is found. ### ### What can start an automation from finlight? Any of finlight's 1 trigger in the catalog, including New Article. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in OpenQR when something happens in finlight? Any of OpenQR's 8 actions, including Add folder, Get QR code, List folders and Update folder. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from OpenQR to finlight? OpenQR has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in finlight. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads OpenQR's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for finlight or OpenQR? 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 finlight and OpenQR 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.
