Any of Help Scout's 4 triggers in the catalog, including New Conversation, New Customer, New Mailbox and New User. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in Support Board when something happens in Help Scout? Any of Support Board's 36 actions, including Send Message, Update Conversation Agent, Update Conversation Department and Update Conversation Status. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from Support Board to Help Scout? Support Board has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in Help Scout. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads Support Board's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for Help Scout or Support Board? 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 Support Board 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.
