Any of Glimpse's 1 trigger in the catalog, including New Signal. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in PubNub when something happens in Glimpse? Any of PubNub's 9 actions, including Send signal, Update channel metadata, Update user metadata and Get channel metadata. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from PubNub to Glimpse? PubNub has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Glimpse. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads PubNub's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Glimpse or PubNub? 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 Glimpse and PubNub without building an automation? Yes. With your AI client connected to APIANT, ask it to do something in PubNub 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.
