Connecting the two means a new pursuit in HigherGov can have a tile waiting in timeBuzzer, and time logged in timeBuzzer can be checked against the pursuit or opportunity it belongs to.

Yes. The Pursuit Added trigger in HigherGov can run a Find Tile check in timeBuzzer first, and create the tile only when nothing matches, so you do not end up with duplicates for the same bid. ### ### What can happen in HigherGov when someone logs time in timeBuzzer? The New Activity trigger can look up records in HigherGov, such as Find Pursuits to match the activity to a tracked bid or Find Opportunities to pull the open solicitation behind it. HigherGov lookups return information; they do not change the pursuit. ### ### What can start an automation from HigherGov? Any of HigherGov's 1 trigger in the catalog, including Pursuit Added. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one. ### ### What can your agent do in timeBuzzer when something happens in HigherGov? Any of timeBuzzer's 5 actions, including Add Activity, Edit Tile, Create Tile and Find Tile. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships. ### ### Can it also run from timeBuzzer to HigherGov? Yes. When something happens in timeBuzzer, your agent can act in HigherGov too. This page covers both directions: timeBuzzer's triggers and HigherGov's actions are listed here as well. ### ### Do I have to build a connector for HigherGov or timeBuzzer? 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 HigherGov and timeBuzzer 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.
