Integration

Connect FreeAgent and Slack

When New Contact fires in FreeAgent, your agent runs Send Direct Message in Slack, or New Channel in Slack to Get Contact in FreeAgent. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.

What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.

Build solutions, not workarounds.

Pick one to fill the box, then change anything: the steps, the wording, even the apps. Go as long as you like.

Connect your AI client

Give your AI client this address.

https://mcp.apiant.ai

One connection does both: ask your client to act in an app once, or have it build an automation that keeps running. Any client that takes a remote MCP server. Nothing to install. Create your free account, then sign in once in your browser.

Codex and the ChatGPT desktop app

Any other MCP client

Paste the address where the client asks for a remote MCP server URL, and name the server apiant-ai where it lets you. APIANT's skills reach the client over the same connection.

FreeAgent holds the contacts, projects, invoices and timeslips; Slack is where the team actually talks about them. Connecting the two means a new project in FreeAgent can open its own Slack channel, a new invoice can be announced in the finance channel, and messages in Slack can be turned into FreeAgent timeslips or projects without anyone retyping the details.

Questions

FreeAgent and Slack, answered

Can a Slack channel be created automatically for each new FreeAgent project?

Yes. The New Project trigger in FreeAgent can create a channel in Slack, set its topic and post an opening message, and it can first fetch the linked contact in FreeAgent so the client name is included. The agent tests every scenario before it goes live.

What happens if the FreeAgent contact on a project is missing?

The Get Contact step in FreeAgent is a lookup, so you decide what happens when nothing comes back, such as posting the Slack message with the project name only. Both scenarios are tested so neither one leaves a channel half set up.

What can start an automation from FreeAgent?

Any of FreeAgent's 6 triggers in the catalog, including New Contact, New Project, New Bank Transaction and New Invoice. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.

What can your agent do in Slack when something happens in FreeAgent?

Any of Slack's 60 actions, including Send Direct Message, Create Canvas, Create Channel and Create Channel Canvas. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.

Can it also run from Slack to FreeAgent?

Yes. When something happens in Slack, your agent can act in FreeAgent too. This page covers both directions: Slack's triggers and FreeAgent's actions are listed here as well.

Do I have to build a connector for FreeAgent or Slack?

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 Slack 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.
