Any of Flatfile's 8 triggers in the catalog, including New Agent, New App, New Document and New Event. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in 4chan when something happens in Flatfile? Any of 4chan's 6 actions, including Get board catalog, Get board index page, Get thread and List boards. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from 4chan to Flatfile? 4chan has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Flatfile. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads 4chan's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Flatfile or 4chan? 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 Flatfile and 4chan 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.
