Integration
Connect Grafana and Outline
When New Dashboard fires in Grafana, your agent runs Create Document in Outline, or New Collection in Outline to Add Team Member in Grafana. 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.

Questions
Grafana and Outline, answered
What can start an automation from Grafana?
Any of Grafana's 1 trigger in the catalog, including New Dashboard. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Outline when something happens in Grafana?
Any of Outline's 32 actions, including Create Collection, Create Document, Update Collection and Update comment. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Outline to Grafana?
Yes. When something happens in Outline, your agent can act in Grafana too. This page covers both directions: Outline's triggers and Grafana's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Grafana or Outline?
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 Grafana and Outline 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.
