Connect FreeAgent and Ontraport
When New Contact fires in FreeAgent, your agent runs Create or Update Contact in Ontraport, or New Contact in Ontraport to Create Contact in FreeAgent. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.

Setup guide (opens in a new tab)Ontraport holds your contacts, tags, tasks and transactions, while FreeAgent holds the invoices, projects and timeslips your bookkeeper works from. Joining them means a sale recorded in Ontraport can become an invoice in FreeAgent, and new FreeAgent contacts or invoices can come back as contacts and follow-up tasks in Ontraport.

Questions
FreeAgent and Ontraport, answered
Can an Ontraport sale become a FreeAgent invoice for the right client?
Yes. The New Transaction trigger in Ontraport starts it, List Contacts in FreeAgent finds the matching client, and Create Invoice raises the invoice against that contact. You can also have the agent tag the contact in Ontraport once the invoice is made.
How do you avoid duplicate contact records between the two apps?
Going into Ontraport, Create or Update Contact merges on email instead of adding a second record. Going into FreeAgent, the agent can run List Contacts first and only use Create Contact when no match comes back.
What can start an automation from FreeAgent?
Any of FreeAgent's 6 triggers in the catalog, including New Contact, New Invoice, New Bank Transaction and New or Updated Contact. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Ontraport when something happens in FreeAgent?
Any of Ontraport's 14 actions, including Create or Update Contact, Create Task, Create Object and Update Object. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Ontraport to FreeAgent?
Yes. When something happens in Ontraport, your agent can act in FreeAgent too. This page covers both directions: Ontraport's triggers and FreeAgent's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for FreeAgent or Ontraport?
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 FreeAgent and Ontraport 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.
