Any of Greenhouse's 15 triggers in the catalog, including Application Updated, Candidate Updated, Job Updated and New Candidate. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Canva when something happens in Greenhouse? Any of Canva's 41 actions, including Create Asset Upload Job, Create Canva Design With Optional Asset, Create Design Comment In Preview Api and Create Design Import Job. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Canva to Greenhouse? Canva has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Greenhouse. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Canva's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Greenhouse or Canva? 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 Greenhouse and Canva 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.
