Integration
Connect Grist and VBOUT
When New or Updated Record fires in Grist, your agent runs Add contact in VBOUT, or New Contact in VBOUT to Create or Update Record in Grist. 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
Grist and VBOUT, answered
What can start an automation from Grist?
Any of Grist's 4 triggers in the catalog, including New or Updated Record, New or Updated Record (Instant), New Record and New Record (Instant). Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.
What can your agent do in VBOUT when something happens in Grist?
Any of VBOUT's 18 actions, including Create Email List, Create Email Marketing Campaign, Create Social Media Message and Update Contact. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.
Can it also run from VBOUT to Grist?
Yes. When something happens in VBOUT, your agent can act in Grist too. This page covers both directions: VBOUT's triggers and Grist's actions are listed here as well.
Do I have to build a connector for Grist or VBOUT?
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 Grist and VBOUT 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.
