Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from HitPay to FreshBooks? HitPay has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in FreshBooks. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads HitPay's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for FreshBooks or HitPay? 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 FreshBooks and HitPay 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.
