Any of FreeAgent's 6 triggers in the catalog, including New Bank Transaction, New Contact, New Invoice and New or Updated Contact. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Pylon when something happens in FreeAgent? Any of Pylon's 25 actions, including Create Account, Create Account Activity, Create Call Recording and Update Account. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Pylon to FreeAgent? Pylon has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in FreeAgent. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Pylon's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for FreeAgent or Pylon? 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 Pylon 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.
