Connect FreshBooks and Text Request
When New Bill fires in FreshBooks, your agent runs Add group message in Text Request, or New Contact in Text Request to Add Payment to Invoice in FreshBooks. 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.

Questions
FreshBooks and Text Request, answered
What can start an automation from FreshBooks?
Any of FreshBooks's 16 triggers in the catalog, including New Bill, New Client, New Credit Note and New Estimate. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Text Request when something happens in FreshBooks?
Any of Text Request's 23 actions, including Create Group, Create Tag, Send Message and Update group. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Text Request to FreshBooks?
Yes. When something happens in Text Request, your agent can act in FreshBooks too. This page covers both directions: Text Request's triggers and FreshBooks's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for FreshBooks or Text Request?
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 Text Request 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.
