Any of HelpDesk's 2 triggers in the catalog, including New Message in a Ticket and New Ticket. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in The Calendar when something happens in HelpDesk? Any of The Calendar's 5 actions, including Get country holidays, Get finance calendar, Get sports schedule and Get US federal holidays. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from The Calendar to HelpDesk? The Calendar has no triggers in the catalog today, so automations start in HelpDesk. If you need the other direction, ask: your agent reads The Calendar's API documentation and adds it. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for HelpDesk or The Calendar? 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 HelpDesk and The Calendar 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.
