Questions
Grain and Hippo, answered
What can start an automation from Grain?
Any of Grain's 4 triggers in the catalog, including New Playlist, New Upload, Recording Added and Story Added. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in Hippo when something happens in Grain?
Any of Hippo's 13 actions, including Create Conversation, Create or Update User, Create Summary of Ticket History and Create Ticket. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from Hippo to Grain?
Hippo has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Grain. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Hippo's API documentation and adds it.
Do I have to build a connector for Grain or Hippo?
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 Grain and Hippo 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.
