Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running. Help Scout **4** triggers Help Scout **19** actions PandaDoc **3** triggers PandaDoc **19** actions What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it. ## What do you want Help Scout and PandaDoc to do together? Give your AI client this address. `https://mcp.apiant.ai` One connection does both: ask your client to act in an app once, or have it build an automation that keeps running. Any client that takes a remote MCP server. Nothing to install. Create your free account, then sign in once in your browser. ### Set it up in your client ### Claude Code Run this in the directory you want to work in. `claude mcp add --transport http -s project apiant-ai https://mcp.apiant.ai` Start Claude Code there, approve the server, and sign in in the browser page it opens. [Claude Code guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp/claude-code) ### Claude, web and desktop Open Customize, then Connectors, then Add custom connector, and paste the address.

[Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) ### Any other MCP client Paste the address where the client asks for a remote MCP server URL, and name the server apiant-ai where it lets you. APIANT's skills reach the client over the same connection. [Setup guide (opens in a new tab)](https://apiant.ai/docs/mcp) If your support team in Help Scout needs to know which customers have signed, connecting it to PandaDoc puts that context where they already work. A completed document can become an internal note or a tag change on the customer's conversation, and a new Help Scout customer can become a PandaDoc contact ready for a quote. The agent builds the whole flow and tests every scenario.

The flow reads the document with Get document details, then uses List Customers in Help Scout filtered by that email address. If a match comes back you can post a note, update the customer or retag their conversation; if not, Create Customer can add the record. ### ### Can a Help Scout conversation start a document in PandaDoc? Yes. New Conversation and New Customer are both available as triggers, and from there the agent can run Create document from template, Create contact, Create document link or Send document in PandaDoc. The agent tests each scenario before it goes live. ### ### What can start an automation from Help Scout? Any of Help Scout's 4 triggers in the catalog, including New Customer, New Conversation, New Mailbox and New User. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in PandaDoc when something happens in Help Scout? Any of PandaDoc's 19 actions, including Create contact, Get document details, Create document from template and Create document link. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from PandaDoc to Help Scout? Yes. When something happens in PandaDoc, your agent can act in Help Scout too. This page covers both directions: PandaDoc's triggers and Help Scout's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Help Scout or PandaDoc? 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 Help Scout and PandaDoc 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.
