# Connect GAIL and Grist

When **New Call in List** fires in [GAIL](https://apiant.ai/connections/gail), your agent runs **Create or Update Record** in [Grist](https://apiant.ai/connections/grist), or **New or Updated Record** in Grist to **Add contact list** in GAIL. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.

GAIL **1** trigger GAIL **22** actions Grist **4** triggers Grist **21** actions

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

## What do you want GAIL and Grist to do together?

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.

### Set it up in your client

### Claude Code

Run this in the directory you want to work in.

`claude mcp add --transport http -s project apiant-ai https://mcp.apiant.ai`

Start Claude Code there, approve the server, and sign in in the browser page it opens.

[Claude Code guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp/claude-code)

### Claude, web and desktop

Open Customize, then Connectors, then Add custom connector, and paste the address. On Team and Enterprise an owner adds it first.

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.

Questions

## GAIL and Grist, answered

###

### What can start an automation from GAIL?

Any of GAIL's 1 trigger in the catalog, including New Call in List. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.

###

### What can your agent do in Grist when something happens in GAIL?

Any of Grist's 21 actions, including Create Document, Create or Update Record, Create Record and Create Workspace. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.

###

### Can it also run from Grist to GAIL?

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

###

### Do I have to build a connector for GAIL or Grist?

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 GAIL and Grist 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.

###
