Any of Harvest's 16 triggers in the catalog, including New Client, New Contact, New Expense and New Invoice. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Data.gov when something happens in Harvest? Any of Data.gov's 9 actions, including Find datasets, Find resources, Find tags and Get dataset. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Data.gov to Harvest? Data.gov has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Harvest. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Data.gov's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Harvest or Data.gov? 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 Harvest and Data.gov 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.
